Description

Presidents are no strangers to getting booed. But what about getting booed by war veterans when making a speech at a war memorial on Memorial Day? In this episode of C-SPAN's podcast "The Weekly" -- themed for Memorial Day -- we remember the rough reaction President Bill Clinton faced when he spoke at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in 1993. Clinton was the first president to visit the Vietnam Veterans Memorial on Memorial Day. But was met with boos and catcalls from war veterans who weren't forgiving his avoiding the draft and anti-war positions as a student.
