For All You White Male Christian Cis-Gender Macho MAGA Men Out There

This one is for you. Sometimes removing a corrupt and dishonest bureaucrat is like removing a tick that burrows further into the skin. One quite nasty pest, Susan Rice, managed to burrow into the Defense Policy Board Advisory Committee sometime before President Trump’s inauguration, presumably still with Top Secret clearance since she was a former national security advisor and, for a time, a prospect to become the secretary of state. Secretary of Defense Hegseth has just removed Rice from the DPBAC position. And well, let’s say she’s not taking it well, as the video attests, spewing forth a string of bigoted labels about Secretary Hegseth. She did stop short of calling him a Nazi, so there is that. (Warning: Strong language in the video).

In a previous role in the Obama administration, Rice was the point person to spread a coordinated falsehood to several national news outlets about the cause for the attack on the American consulate in Benghazi, Libya in 2012; the attack that resulted in the killing of Ambassador Chris Stevens, Sean Smith, Glen Doherty, and Tyrone Woods. Rice went on the major networks’ Sunday morning news shows and falsely claimed that the consulate was attacked because of an anti-Muslim YouTube video that had been posted on the internet by an obscure filmmaker. This fabrication was designed to shift the blame for the Obama administration’s gross negligence and incompetence.

From Investor’s Business Daily:

The fish rots from the head, as the saying goes, and no further proof is needed than a Sept. 14, 2012, email from Ben Rhodes, an assistant to the president and deputy national security adviser for strategic communications, contained in more than 100 pages of documents released by Judicial Watch and obtained in a Freedom of Information Act request.

That email, with the subject line: "RE: PREP Call with Susan: Saturday at 4:00 p.m. ET," was sent to other key White House staffers such as then-Communications Director David Plouffe and Press Secretary Jay Carney the day before now-National Security Adviser Susan Rice made her whirlwind tour on five Sunday news show appearances to specifically and emphatically blame an Internet video for the Sept. 11, 2012, attack on the American diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, in which U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other nationals were killed.

One of the goals listed in the emails was the need for Rice "to underscore that these protests are rooted in an Internet video, and not a broader failure or policy." She was also to "reinforce the President and Administration's strength and steadiness in dealing with difficult challenges." Her job was not to tell the truth, but to put lipstick on the Obama administration's Benghazi pig.

The attack was a planned terrorist attack to commemorate the anniversary of the 9/11 attack on New York and Washington, D.C. by al-Qaeda terrorists. The Benghazi attack was carried out by another terrorist faction in Benghazi, Ansar al-Sharia. Historically, the attack was a catastrophic failure of American presidential, State Department and DoD leadership, along with the intelligence community that attempted to obscure what really happened. It was such an embarrassment that several people in the Obama administration should have been summarily fired, not only for not ensuring that the consulate and Ambassador Stevens and his staff were adequately protected but also for the lack of any coordinated military response while the attack was underway that some national security officials were monitoring in real time in the White House Situation Room without POTUS. Barack Obama’s whereabouts on that horrific night have never been adequately accounted for.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, after neglecting to adequately protect Stevens, then had the audacity to tell the grieving families of the four slain Americans that the obscure YouTube filmmaker had been arrested, compounding the lie that Susan Rice had spewed to the news media.

Yet, as time passed, Rice, a creature of the swamp, continued to thrive and became a key policy advisor to that cognitively-challenged Biden crime family boss who occupied the White House between the two Trump administrations and after his disastrous administration, ensconced herself into the Defense Policy Board Advisory Committee to make sure that the Pentagon was still applying and adhering to the discriminatory practices of DEI, despite the Trump administration’s ongoing effort to eradicate DEI from the Executive Branch and its departments and agencies.

Hopefully, the Trump administration and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard will strip Susan Rice of any shred of security clearances she may still have. In the meantime, someone really needs to put Rice’s bigoted rant to music. It does have a certain melodic quality. Perhaps someone can work it into the Village People’s “Macho Man” song.
