Susan Rice knocks ‘dumb as a rock’ Hegseth

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.

She only shows her own bias and bigotry with that low class remark.

“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.

If Rice had any brains (and if Hegseth was truly that "dumb"), she'd praise him to the skies, lie low, and set traps.

So now we know for certain who's dumb.

Iran Sue wishes she was as smart as a rock.

[grumpygresh]

Her whining is absolute confirmation that she needed to go. Hopefully she’s been stripped of security clearance and can’t enter fed buildings.

Rice: “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.”

Correct Suzy, and conversely if you’re a screaming-faggot child-molesting, communist, affirmative action moron and liar....you’re not qualified....bitch!

[ActresponsiblyinVA]

If you are a white, conservative, Christian, veteran, heterosexual male you can be openly discriminated against under the DEI principles.

What are Susan Rice’s military credentials

As El Rush-Bo often pointed out, Susan Rice is a part of the shhhtrrruugle.

Rich Marxist / Leninists have to shhhtrrruugle to count their ill-gotten gains

[ROCKLOBSTER]

Pete BETTER have taken away her SECURITY CLEARANCE!! Oh, well,she can get all the info from Obama.

"The Kenyan" needs his taken away as well.

Hegseth went to Stanford to get BA in political sciences, the same school as Rice did (hers was in history). While Rice went to Oxford to get a doctorate in international relation, Hegseth received MPP from Harvard’s Kennedy School.
So, from educational point, something that the left always value highly, Hegseth has the right credentials. But, he also has something in the area of defense that Rice doesn’t have: serving in the military in combat war zone.

And Rice is saying Hegseth is dumb as rock? Ckckck...

[OldHarbor]

Hey Susie , how is Nakoula Basseley Nakoula doing these days ? He was the guy who supposedly produced the video that allegedly brought about the Benghazi Debacle.

A curse and a pox on the vile bitch known as Susie Rice.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Susie Rice. A RAT insulting Hegseth. The ho ain’t got much room to talk.

[faithhopecharity]

she has a long record of discriminatory conduct, policies

hoping that she retires from the public commentary arena Soon, we don’t need her kind of input

[adorno]

When democrats can’t find a cohesive and intelligent argument to make, they have to resort to insults.

(BTW, that applies to some republicans too, even some on FR)

[I-ambush]

“Rat faced Rice is the poster girl for DEI failure”
She has never struck me as “rat-faced;” rather, her features are perfectly bland, like a lump of mashed potatoes. Furthermore, the type of men we need to fight our battles want to follow someone like Pete Hesgeth, not a harpy with no real experience with the military, and zero history of foreign policy success. Witness the recruiting statistics.

“Well, if you’re a white male Christian cisgender macho MAGA man....”

Anti-white male, anti-Christian, anti-heterosexsuality, anti-masculine venom in one little statement.

So, so this godless wretch finally admits what the entire Left thinks of Trump supporters — over half the population of the nation.

Hello kettle! Back to coaching.
