Yes indeed, Hillary Rodham Clinton, the former U.S. secretary of state, senator, first lady and presidential candidate, flew in to Humboldt County over the weekend and attended an event at the Requa Inn up in Klamath.
The Outpost had heard just the faintest rumors that she might be headed our way but was unable to confirm it last week. On Friday we got an email saying she’d flown in to ACV from SFO under a fake name.
“Secret service SUVs came and picked her up on the tarmac,” our tipster said.
Today, The Historic Requa Inn posted photos from the visit to its Facebook page:
You may recall Clinton’s prior visit to Humboldt, more than four years ago. Turns out she and daughter Chelsea were here to visit Yurok Chief Justice Abby Abinanti for an Apple TV documentary series called “Gutsy.”
This time around, Clinton again met with Judge Abby and others from the Yurok Tribal Court. She was joined by personal friends Anna Deveare Smith (a renowned playwright, actor and professor) and Susie Buell (entrepreneur, businesswoman and progressive political donor).
