BREAKING: Former National Security Advisor Susan Rice enrages MAGA world by mocking Trump's disastrous Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth as "dumb as a rock" in a brutal new interview.
She's just saying what all of us are thinking...
"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 told podcast host Brian Taylor Cohen on No Lie With BTC.
Her assessment is spot on. Hegseth has been an unmitigated catastrophe as Defense Secretary, the most incompetent man to ever hold the job. From his clueless behavior in the SignalGate scandal to the dogged allegations of him being a raging alcoholic, this man clearly should not be in a position of power.
Rice also tore into the Trump administration for firing people of color from high-ranking positions in the military under the pretense of getting rid of "DEI." Hegseth has defended the terminations, saying that "any general" that "was involved" with "DEI woke shit" has "got to go."
"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," said Rice.
"Anybody who fits the mold of somebody who is not a white Christian cisgender male, is by definition in this administration, deemed inferior," she said.
It's time for Hegseth to go and for someone competent and qualified to step into his job. Until that happens, America is not safe.
