Former Obama National Security Advisor Susan Rice appeared on MSNBC following Ukrainian President Zelensky’s disastrous and insulting behavior during a meeting with President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance on Friday.
Rice made her allegiances clear as she parroted Zelensky’s own negotiation verbiage while openly objecting to a deal that would be better for America.
Rice started out chummy, talking about “Vladimir” before correcting herself and calling him by his formal name.
Rice told MSNBC’s Nicole Wallace, “Vladimir, I mean, excuse me, Vladimir Zelensky was compelled to agree to a horrible deal that would have set Ukraine’s minerals to the United States without any concrete security guarantees.”
“And yet, because he was trying to improve a relationship with Donald Trump, he came to Washington, he came to the Oval Office, and sat down for a meeting, hat in hand. And soon after he got there, the Vice President of the United States lit into him and started a confrontation.”
“Now, I’ve been in countless Oval Office meetings with heads of state, presidents and vice presidents, as National Security Advisor, as UN ambassador, and in other roles. I can tell you that the vice President or the Secretary of State or anybody else, they don’t jump in, hijack a conversation without the express blessing of the President of the United States.”
“So JD Vance did that deliberately. Donald Trump knew what he was going to do. And I think, as he said at the end, because he can’t help himself, this was a setup for the cameras. It was a play to his base, but above all, it was a play to Vladimir Putin, to show fealty to Vladimir Putin, and to try to humiliate Zelensky.”
Zelensky managed to humilate himself all by himself.
Rice then swooned over Zelensky like a love struck school girl, “But Zelenski didn’t play along with the script because Zelenski’s got dignity and guts, and Zelensky has people that he democratically represents. As a result, he couldn’t sit there in silence as lies were being told about how the war was started, whose responsibility it was, et cetera, et cetera.”
Watch:
Is she, and possibly others from Obama’s inner circle, advising foreign leaders to spite President Trump?
