COLUMBIA S.C.
Presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton told college Democrats on Saturday she would create a national academy to train public servants.
“I’m going to be asking a new generation to serve,” she said. “I think just like our military academies, we need to give a totally all-paid education to young men and women who will serve their country in a public service position.”
An older woman carrying a sign that said “She doesn’t care, all she wants is the power” yelled at Clinton while the New York senator was speaking in a ballroom on the University of South Carolina campus. Students attending the College Democrats of America convention shouted down the woman down and pushed her from the room.
“One of the things I love about politics, you never know what the day will bring,” Clinton said.
Several people at the convention said they were inspired by Clinton’s speech and her experience in public service after law school.
Clinton was an intern with the Children’s Defense Fund, which advocates for minority, poor and disabled children.
