Former Obama national security adviser Susan Rice and Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) often sparred in the wake of the 2012 terror attack in Benghazi, Libya that killed four Americans. Graham repeatedly blasted the Obama administration's inaction and misleading narrative about the attack.
Rice recalled all the tension during an interview on the "Pod Save the World" podcast with former Obama adviser Tommy Vietor this week, when the two compared Sen. Graham to excrement and accused him of "lying" and "raising money off the death of four Americans."
“He’s been a piece of s**t,” Rice chimed in. “I said it! I said it, dammit. Finally. He’s a piece of s**t."
Rice's and Vietor's stark assessment of Graham is one thing, but I was more interested in Rice’s perspective of the Benghazi scandal that made her one of the most infamous figures in politics. Back in 2012, Rice spoke for the Obama administration on several different news shows claiming that the terror attack on the U.S. consulate was the result of a spontaneous YouTube video. In reality, it was a premeditated attack. Fox News was one of several networks to expose Rice's misleading take. Yet she claims that the news outlet was just trying to peg her as a villain.
"It knows how to energize and rile up its viewers," Rice said of Fox. "Making them angry is how they get ratings. And the way to make them angry is to create villains that they can target and vilify. And you always need fresh villains."
Rice had given the network the “wherewithal” to be villainized, she mused.
“Because I had given them five different sets of video on these shows," she said. "And they could loop them, and they could turn me into a new villain."
“Now on Fox, many years later, they just need to say my name and it’s like people start twitching it’s like an automatic trigger point.”
Rice has a new memoir out in which she claims she was just repeating the talking points provided to her by the CIA.
These corrupt Global-lusts lied about Benghazi not being a 9-11 terrorist attack so they could re-elect Golden Child Obama.
F-Susan Rice and lock her corrupt AF ass in chains.
Chelsea knew it was a lie on 9-11-2012. Mama Clinton told her the truth so it wasn’t being covered up for national security. Chelsea wasn’t cleared:
They locked up a filmmaker who slandered the propjet of Islam and made him the fall guy. Despotism
Because she was a villain?
Ha ha ha ha ...
Alternative history
Exactly. She’s the liar and was called out on it, labeled because of it, and she will have to live with the piece of crap that she is for trying to deceive the American people and families of those killed.
Actions have consequences Susan Rice.
First and foremost, she is a black female and that is her primary qualification
One blame they made on Republicans was that they did not have enough funding to have a more defensible embassy compound in Benghazi. At the time I looked at a lot of pictures of that compound, both inside and out. I have a son in Special Forces so try to see these things from his perspective. My thought was, “Gee, all you need is an 8 foot ladder and you can climb right in.” My questions are, who picked this site, why did they pick it, and why as the situation grew more serious didn’t they make more defensive moves or change location? I do know our dead Ambassador had been in Libya from well before the overthrow and should have been well aware of conditions. In fact if I remember correctly, he traveled there to evaluate the situation and make recommendations.
The one in which they discussed golf and grandchildren.
So she admits to a conspiracy and a LIE to protect Obama and Hillary - this is breaking news.
