The ex-top Obama adviser, Susan Rice, is now joining Andrea Mitchell of MSNBC to fact check President Donald Trump’s speech, after the recent Iran incident. Rice is the same woman who lied on five different network talk shows back in 2012, claiming the attack on the American consulate in Benghazi was caused by a YouTube video.
But MSNBC put Rice on the air shortly after President Trump’s speech about Iran on Wednesday as a “fact checker.”
NewsBusters has detailed the coverage.
Susan Rice stated that “Trump’s ‘despicable lies’ about Obama show his ‘extreme weakness and insecurity”
MITCHELL: Let’s fact-check the $150 billion that went to Iran after the nuclear deal was signed.
RICE: Well, first of all, Andrea, as you know and as you were discussing with your colleagues, this is another series of despicable lies by President Trump. The fact that 3 1/2 years after taking office he remains — or three years after taking office he remains obsessed with President Obama just shows President Trump’s extreme weakness and insecurity.
The facts about the Iran nuclear deal are that it effectively halted and rolled back Iranian’s nuclear program. In the years since the signing of the deal in 2015, up until President Trump’s unilateral withdrawal, abandoning our allies against the advice of his advisors, there were no proxy attacks by Iranian proxies on U.S. Personnel in Iraq. There were no efforts by Iran to attack our drones in the Persian Gulf or attack shipping. The nuclear program was under control. There were strict verification and inspections. Everybody including the American intelligence community validated that it was being upheld and our forces and presence in the region was secure.
America, REALLY? We still have to listen to the BS.
