Cairo (CNN) -- Egyptian protesters threw tomatoes and shoes at U.S.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's motorcade Sunday and shouted, "Monica,
Monica, Monica" as she left the newly reopened U.S. Consulate in Alexandria.
Clinton said she was in the city to answer critics who believe Washington
has taken sides in Egyptian politics. There were already vocal protesters at
the start of her visit to the consulate, forcing the ceremony to be moved
inside.
"I want to be clear that the United States is not in the business, in Egypt,
of choosing winners and losers, even if we could, which, of course, we
cannot," Clinton said at the ceremony to reopen the consulate, which was
closed in 1993 because of budget constraints.

"I have come to Alexandria to reaffirm the strong support of the United
States for the Egyptian people and for their democratic future."
The protesters threw the tomatoes, shoes and a water bottle as the staff
walked to their vans after the ceremony and riot police had to hold back the
crowd. A tomato hit an Egyptian official in the face.

the protesters, and a senior State Department official said her car was not
hit.
The chants of "Monica" refer to Monica Lewinsky, the White House intern who
had an affair with Clinton's husband, former President Bill Clinton.
