The tense meeting between Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Donald Trump and J.D. Vance is still generating heat, as Susan Rice, former national security advisor, spit fire Saturday at a conservative commentator’s suggestion that Team Obama “personally advised” the Ukrainian president on how to conduct himself in the Oval Office.
“You clowns are up to the same old tired crap,” Rice posted on X. “When your guy screws up and royally embarrasses himself and the U.S., you try to change the subject and lie about a favorite target to distract and deflect.”
Rice was responding to Mollie Hemingway, edito-in-chief of the Federalist and Fox News contributor, who wrote a long post suggesting that Rice and other Obama administration veterans “personally advised” Zelenskyy to intentionally sabotage the meeting and get Trump to “blow up.”
“For the record, I have never met Zelenskyy and never spoken to him,” Rice clapped back. “Ever. Or advised him or anybody around him. It’s a shame that you contend that it is in the U.S. national interest to sell out Ukraine and suck up to Putin.”
Hemingway wasn’t exactly ready to let that aggression stand.
“Thank you for your response,” she wrote. “Where would we place this denial, compared to your oft-repeated lie that the Benghazi debacle was due to a YouTube video, and your lie that you ‘knew nothing’ about the unmasking of Trump officials before being forced to admit you did it widely?”
