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.

maybe nasa had hired here to explore Uranus?
Is this the Susan Rice who wrote a CYA email to herself on her White Hut email account on her way out the door of the Obama administration because Donald Trump was going to be President in five minutes?
This woman is a large part of the unelected trash that had been running the Country into the ground for the last 4 years...
Good question. These folks have had no consequences and that leads to this. She should be in hiding , keeping her mouth shut, hoping no one has the initiative to prosecute her…. But was still at the DOD right up until yesterday?!?!
LOL!
True. Susan Rice presided over Obama’s Arab Spring, which displaced millions and got hundreds of thousands killed. But it wasn’t incompetence. It was the plan.
How does that dumb ass know Hegseth. She’s a RAT. He’s an American.
I still go with lump of potatoes. But, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and so, I guess, is the opposite.
Right.... halfling Rice...BUT if your an incompetent retired black dumba@@ general who has been fooled by Mossad in two major cases in simple military conflicts— fooled completely. THAT is a “smart cookie” Sec Def. Lloyd Austin is and was a DEI moron who should never have risen to the post nor been brought back to be SecDef and setup the DEI Chairman of the Joint Chiefs.
Fact is, that Rice is an obamaumaobot embed who thinks they are really really smart... when in fact they themselves are stupider than a rock. Originally in the hitlery camp moved to obama, and pro Iran pro Muslim anti-Israel and and Anti-US.
And NOW, Hegseth has fired the entire DOD advisory council including this biotch Rice. So she retaliates in the press- chicken crap biotch that she is. And ugly inside and out— singularly ugly physically— in the Victoria Nuland club, with Lisa Monaco et al.
She is an extremist racist Marxist thug. Do not allow her in any Federal buildings ever again. None. Persona non grata.
Oh yes, one other thing— DJT removed Rice’s security clearance so she has nothing else to pilfer from and create chaos in our foreign policy under the instructions of obamaumao the first.
Rice and whole lot of other permanent embeds... Brennan, Clapper, Comey. Now Trump should remove Schumer’s clearance thus taking him out of the Gang of Eight. Just as Turner was removed from House Intel Committee as chair— zero clearance from then on.
There’s a lot of resentful hate in that remark, Sooz. All that hate clouds your judgment.
Then again, you never were the sharpest knife in the drawer, Sooz.
I read that statement multiple times and, I find it either makes no sense, or she has just destroyed her own case for DEI.
Deep State hires idiots, Ms. Rice.
It doesn’t fear them.
Well, IIRC, she did go on all of the Sunday talk shows after Benghazi and something about watching videos? She has been 0bama’s lifeline to the Biden administration, I suspect.
Seriously..Susan Rice should keep her trap shut considering what she and Obama did to the world and this country..maybe someone needs to remind her about Benghazi
She is a hateful turd always has been..hates America, hates Israel, she fit in perfectly with Obama
