It’s rough out there for Hillary Clinton these days, even when she leaves the country.

Clinton was in Wales over the weekend to receive an honorary doctorate from Swansea University, but was met with protesters, including Kirsty Lloyd, who told her to her face that “Bernie would have won.”

“Only you could lose to Trump,” the student said.

The former first lady and failed presidential candidate was outside the university for a meet and greet when the woman approached her. As soon as the sharp words came out of Lloyd’s mouth, Clinton turned around and quickly shuffled herself back inside.

Clinton was being honored by Swansea “in recognition of her commitment to promoting the rights of families and children around the world, a commitment that is shared by Swansea University’s Observatory on the Human Rights of Children and Young People,” according to a statement by the university.

When the failed candidate arrived at the university, she was met with a mixture of cheers and loud boos from the crowd.

Lloyd, who was one of many protesters in attendance, shared her feelings about the honor with the London Economic.

“She lost,” Lloyd, a Welsh Biochemistry student, told The London Economic of why she was protesting.

“Hillary Clinton cheated Bernie Sanders of his nomination. And all those drone strikes that killed women and children which are illegal contradict the reason she is being given a doctorate – which is for doing things for women and children all over the world. The main thing she’s done for women and children is kill them drone strikes,” Lloyd stated.

“Bernie would have won” is a popular meme used by Sanders supporters to troll Clinton voters who refuse to acknowledge that the Democratic Party actively worked to prevent the Vermont populist senator from winning the nomination.
