She didn’t even last a minute.

According to video footage in one tweet, Hillary Clinton spent less than a minute at a campaign rally in Los Angeles, due in part to an aggressive group accusing the former secretary of state of being responsible for the deaths of thousands of political activists in Honduras.

Accosting the Democratic presidential candidate, voices can be heard shouting, “Hillary Clinton, you’re not welcome here.” The shouts grew louder, coupled with accusations Clinton is personally responsible for the death of Berta Cáceres.

“You’re responsible for the death of Berta Caceres,” the angry voice can be heard saying. “You’re supported the coup in Honduras. You betrayed free right’s activists. You betrayed women’s rights activists in Honduras. You betrayed free rights activists in Honduras.”

For her part, Clinton ignored the angry protesters but was apparently shouted down from the stage and made a quick exit.

The back story involves Clinton’s role in a military coup in 2009 in Honduras which overthrew democratically elected President Manuel Zelaya. Instead of seeking to restore Zelaya to power, the U.S. State Department, under the control of Clinton, responded to the coup by allegedly backing members of the coup.

Before she was murdered in the subsequent post-coup violence, Cáceres, a Honduran indigenous rights and environmental activist, accused Clinton of direct responsibility for the violence in her country. That violence later claimed Cáceres’ own life.
