dating from January 2015 when they gave testimony before the Senate Armed Services Committee on the topic of global challenges and U.S. national security strategy and were interrupted by protesters.

It sounds more like sour grapes in trying to imply there's some secret, nefarious connection between an old, unrelated photo, Kissinger, and Albright's remark in support of Clinton.
