EGYPT GREETS
HILLARY WITH
TOMATOES,
MONICA JABS
Hillary Clinton got a messy welcome in Egypt when
locals pelted her motorcade with tomatoes and shoes
during her first visit to the country since the election of
Islamist President Mohamed Mursi. Protestors chanted
anti-Islamist slogans, accusing the U.S. of meddling in
the election. They also threw in some “Monica, Monica”
chants. “I want to be clear that the United States is
not in the business, in Egypt, of choosing winners and
losers, even if we could, which of course we cannot,”
Clinton said at the U.S. consulate in Alexandria.
