Former United Nations Ambassador Susan Rice bucked Defense Secretary Pete Hegseths intelligence following weeks of scrutiny over leaks at the Pentagon amid massive spending reductions at the Department of Defense (DOD).
Rice, who previously served as national security adviser in the Obama administration, questioned Hegseths proven ability to lead on an international level in conversation with No Lie With BTC podcast host Brian Taylor Cohen.
Well, if youre 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. Thats apparently what weve learned from this episode, Rice said in the clip, highlighted by Mediaite.
Her comments come after Hegseth was scrutinized for sending sensitive information in various Signal message threads. Past Defense officials have raised concerns with his repeated use of an unsecured platform that may pose a threat to national security.

Used properly rocks can have a useful purpose. That's more than I can say for Hegseth.

Amb. Rice is right. Her. comment: "...a white male Christian cisgender macho MAGA man, you can be as dumb as a rock and be deemed qualified..." Sorta reminds me of Rep. Jasmine Crockett's hilarious remark about another dumb bell, Marjorie Taylor Greene: "...a bleached, blonde, bad, built, butch body."
