Woman Who Blamed Benghazi on YouTube Video Accuses Trump Of Lying
"These false statements from the White House are part of a disturbing pattern of behavior that poses real and potentially profound dangers to U.S. national security," she writes, without a hint of irony. "[W]hen a White House deliberately dissembles and serially contorts the facts, its actions pose a serious risk to America's global leadership, among friends and adversaries alike.”
Several words come to mind when one glosses over her arrogant criticisms, but the term “hypocrisy” best fits Rice’s self-righteous lecture about honesty.
You may remember that this is the same woman who stepped down from her post as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations after propagating one of the most egregious lies since Watergate. Shortly after the infamous 2012 Benghazi attack, which killed four Americans including U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens, Rice went on the talk show circuit spouting White House talking points that clearly contradicted the evidence on the ground. We now know that the attack was pre-mediated and coordinated by al-Qaeda operatives on the anniversary of 9/11.
But at the time, Rice contended that the attack on the U.S. embassy compound in Libya was a direct reaction to an obscure YouTube video mocking Islam.
