Susan Rice Gives a Pathetic Excuse for Her 2012 Benghazi Disinformation Tour
pjmedia.com ^ | By Matt Margolis Aug 10, 2020 8:30 PM EST

Susan Rice is reportedly on Joe Biden’s shortlist to be his running mate, and because of this, she’s clearly trying to get ahead of negative stories that are bound to come up should she be selected. The most significant story is the role she played as chief propagandist for the Obama administration after the 2012 terrorist attack on the U.S consulate in Benghazi.

[SNIP]

In an interview with The Atlantic’s Edward-Isaac Dovere, she addressed this liability head on.

Dovere: The Sunday-show appearances around the Benghazi attack have become so much of your public identity. Your mother actually warned you not to do it, and thought Hillary Clinton should have instead. In the end, that became an issue getting in your way to be Obama’s secretary of state, and continues to be an issue Republicans attack you over now.

Rice: She said, “Why you?” And I said, “The White House asked me to do it.” And she’s like, “Well, where’s Hillary?” And I said that she’d been asked, but declined. And I presumed—I hadn’t had this conversation with her—that she had had an extraordinarily draining week, having lost four Americans in an American overseas facility, and all the pain and trauma that that entails for the people of the State Department, for the families, for everybody. But I agreed, as a team player. And her instinct was, “I smell a rat. You shouldn’t do it.” And I said, “Mom, don’t be ridiculous. I’ve done this many times before.” She was absolutely right.

Hitlary’s pain from losing four Americans? She had no pain than lifting a bottle to pour the contents into a glass. She wears those glasses for a reason and its not because the sun gets into her eyes and Bill is off on the Island.

I never understood the need to lie, much less so use the absolutely stupid notion that “a youtube video” caused it.

Americans are used to terrorists attacking us. A smart politician who was cynically worried about a re-election campaign (as Obama was), could have just as easily made it an opportunity to “rally around the flag.”

Unfortunately the Constitution defines ‘treason’ as being in the ‘time of war’, so that’s out..............

Obama’s ordered Biden to pick Rice as his VP. It keeps her out of trouble so she can’t squeal on him for ordering the spying of Trump . These assholes are so predictable.

A rat smells a rat? Most people become desensitized to odors they are continuously exposed to on a daily basis.

That’s because the U.S. ambassador to Libya wasn’t a State Department official. He was a CIA asset.
