Condoleezza Rice shuts down NBC anchor's question on whether Russia helped Trump win
Fox News ^ | 9/11/2019 | Sam Dorman

Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice told an NBC anchor Wednesday it was not accurate to suggest that Russia flipped the 2016 election in President Trump's favor.

"I don’t think there is any evidence of that. And, you know, I really don’t think that’s a good conversation to have," she told NBC anchor Savannah Guthrie. Guthrie had just asked whether Russian interference "actually worked" and blocked a victory by former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.

"I think that really does devalue the people in Wisconsin and Michigan and others who decided to vote for President Trump," Rice added in her response.

"Whether you like this president or not, whether you believe that he should have been president or not, let’s give the credit to the Americans who went out and voted for somebody who they thought would bring change."

I went to hear her speak when W was running. It was a small venue at the Portland airport and she was very professional yet accessible. She came across as sincere and intelligent.

It didn't quite work, but they tried their best to get Hillary elected with the stacks of cash to Bill and their family "charitable" (cough, cough) foundation. And also any info they included in the infamous Steele dossier.

Here’s the title of her latest book:

“To Build a Better World: Choices to End the Cold War and Create a Global Commonwealth”

She’s Deep State and a Globalist.

“Great answer. A very smart lady”.

Here’s the title of her latest book:

“To Build a Better World: Choices to End the Cold War and Create a Global Commonwealth”

She’s Deep State and a Globalist. She’s as nasty as the rest of them.

People act surprised when other countries tamper with our business. Like every country isn’t doing it.

A clear "gotcha" question from a no-nothing talking head who's still crying that Hillary was not elected "Queen of the Planet". Ms. Rice was quite eloquent in her response. Didn't wallow in the gutter with this "journalist". Good for her!

You drive straight to the point....if you go and make this accusation about the Russians...then you are saying that your voters are 6th-grade mentality and not capable of rational decisions. Why even allow them to work, conduct business at banks, or drive cars?

Since day one of this comical accusation, I’ve always asked ‘how’. This never gets resolved. The topic of the social media business is never laid out. I can look over a thousand Facebook ‘articles’, and they are all obvious if they crossed the line and were ‘fake’.

NBC is insinuating that Obama failed to protect our elections. Ask NBC about that. Do they believe that Obama failed to safeguard our elections. See if they change the subject.

I’d say a model neocon globalist. The name of the book is funny considering she was actually responsible for the restart of the Cold War.

Not to mention she missed the chance to avoid 9/11. It was so blatant that almost looks like it was intentional.

I have a feeling that she is talking this way (after being pretty much a #NeverTrumper from the start), because the Neocon Globalists are hoping to con Trump into picking her to replace Bolton.

You can hardly hear Dr. Rice. She's competent as a accompanist.

Yep...if I was running sound at that gig I would have asked Yo Yo to turn his Marshall amp down.

The MSM and uniparty ganged up on Trump to demand he pledge to respect the outcome of the election no matter what happened because not doing so would be detrimental to the nation’s confidence in our process of choosing presidents. Then, they uniformly questioned and attacked the process when their desired outcome failed.

If i were a Dem voter I’d be outraged that they had such a low opinion of me!

Why? Most Dem politicians assume their supporters are dumber than rocks, yet they don't lose support over it.

Thank you very much for your enlightened opinion but I would appreciate your objective analysis on what Rice did right and wrong. Then I might change my opinion.

Condoleezza Rice is an expert on this many times over. She is a former Secretary of State, and before that the National Security Adviser. Before that she was an expert on Russian history and Russian affairs. And despite all of her expertise on these specific matters she gave the best answer ever: To even discuss this is to demean all the “bitter clinger deplorables” who voted for a change in the way Washington operates.

On the 18th anniversary of 9/11, she is my hero today.

The Dems want to overturn the results of the 2016 election as bad as they wanted to overturn the results of the Civil War.
