Former United Nations Ambassador Susan Rice bucked Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s intelligence following weeks of scrutiny over leaks at the Pentagon amid massive spending reductions at the Department of Defense (DOD).
Rice, who previously served as national security adviser in the Obama administration, questioned Hegseth’s proven ability to lead on an international level in conversation with “No Lie With BTC” podcast host Brian Taylor Cohen.
“Well, if you’re a white male Christian cisgender macho MAGA man, you can be as dumb as a rock and be deemed qualified to serve as secretary of Defense. That’s apparently what we’ve learned from this episode,” Rice said in the clip, highlighted by Mediaite.
Her comments come after Hegseth was scrutinized for sending sensitive information in various Signal message threads. Past Defense officials have raised concerns with his repeated use of an unsecured platform that may pose a threat to national security.
Rice said in the wake of his actions that diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) remains under threat in the second Trump administration and serves as a barrier blocking qualified candidates from reaching high-ranking roles.
“DEI has been used as a slur to suggest that anybody who might be a woman, might be a person of color, might be a religious minority, might have a disability … might be a veteran of Native descent, anybody who has benefited in any way, shape, or form from the notion that we all should be treated equally and that we should be viewed on the basis of our merits and not discounted because we happen to be a woman or happen to be a person of color,” Rice told Cohen.

Where did IT serve?-)
Mayorkas should be on trial for crimes against humanity. The window is rapidly closing, and the rinks are stonewalling. If we don’t get anything done in the next year and a half, I feel like we will have lost our country.
Communists have to know, deep down, that their system doesn’t work—it has a perfect record of failure (not a single success). So, ideologically, they build a defensive moat out of hatred for anyone who opposes them.
It’s completely illogical, but in a clumsy way, it works.
And hatred is all they have left.
You've been included for far too long. Time for some new blood, not the same old evil $hit destroying the country. Go blame your overthrow on a video, and then send yourself an email about it.
They see the military the same way. Having a military built on a foundation of fitness, training, intelligence, and warfighting is alien.
They look at such an organization and think, "It doesn't make sense. Whose ass do you have to kiss to succeed? Who do you have to betray to get promoted?"
Her only qualification is that she connives and lies for her friends. She connived and lied for Obama and Hillary Clinton, claiming the murder of four Americans, one being an Ambassador in Benghazi was caused by a video, and she made herself famous for sending herself an email to report on the January 5th, 2017 meeting in the Oval Office with her pals, where they plotted the takedown of General Flynn, and then President Trump.
Why isn’t she deep in prison somewhere?
I wonder how her husband feels...he's white, a Canuck, and he doesn't look too bright being married to her.
She should already have been arrested.
They are evil, and are only interested in gaining power and keeping it, no matter what it takes, even if it means destroying the country in the long run.
Lawless reprobate Susan Rice knew she was committing crimes and trying to invent a ‘get out of jail free’ card with the contrived memos to herself.
How is it this Obama used up diversity hire tool is still walking free? The J6 prison cells are available. Lock her up.
Advice from a hard core Marxist
MSN forgot to report that Rice just got fired from her position at the Pentagon. Couldn’t be that she is butthurt, could it? I’m sure that it was just an honest mistake though. They would never try to slant the “news”
Didn’t she help Osama and Hitlery orchestrate their “Arab Spring” that has lead to the islamic invation of the Western world?
Ha! I’ve met Rice. She’s 100% mashed potatoes!
She does not hide her bigotry.
Remove security clearance stat of all dem plants .
Have the FBI investigate her and VJ fir espionage.
For the rest of her days.
Actually, it does mean destroying the country—and Western civilization too.
She was very angry. We watched her interview. She is not a fan of meritocracy, unless you use DEI to weed out the white men first and then pick the best woman of color.
