Former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton made a muted jab at President Trump and the Russia investigation during a speech at Yale University on Sunday by pulling out a “Russian hat.”.............................

“I see, looking out of you, that you are following the tradition of over-the-top hats, so I brought a hat too,” she said. “A Russian hat. Look, I mean, if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em.”

Watch the hat bit below, which starts at 32:43.

1. I just love that woman. I STILL love that woman.

2. Looks good on her. And besides: she can wear ANY foreign headgear, and still be All-American inside.

Unlike someone we know of:

3. Wait. That's not his hair?

How about that?

4. One of Uncle Vlad's gifts no doubt.

A token of his appreciation, shall we say.

10. Seriously dumb question

What is the real name for that hat and are they warm?

[ChazInAz]

14. I might be wrong.

I DO know they're warm. I believe the name is "Ushanka".

[Jim Lane]

19. You have the name correct!

Wikipedia has an article about the Ushanka, with illustrations.

Of course, there's more than one kind of Russian hat. In this photo, Ford is wearing a ushanka while Brezhnev is wearing a papakha:

11. Spot on

Maybe protesters attending GOP rallies should copy and wear the same!

[robbob]

12. I notice she never actually puts it on...

Probably because if she did the media and you-know-who would be endlessly putting out photos of that and saying “See-SHE’S the puppet!!11!”
