Former UN Ambassador and Obama National Security Advisor erupted after she was canned from the Pentagon’s Defense Police Board.
The board’s role is to provide the Secretary of Defense and the Deputy Secretary of Defense with independent, informed advice and opinions concerning matters of defense policy.
Rice found out she was sacked on Thursday night.
The Daily Beast reported:
Her sacking was announced late Thursday evening, with the Defense Department issuing a statement that read, “changes are needed to support the new strategic direction and policy priorities of the department and to ensure departmental resources are used efficiently.”
The Gateway Pundit reported on Friday that Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has formally terminated the service of every member sitting on the Department of Defense’s advisory committees.
Based on the information available on the website as of Thursday, the now-defunct panels included several well-known Democrats and Bush-era Republicans.
- Janine Davidson (Chair) – Former Under Secretary of the Navy under Obama. A staunch Democrat and longtime proponent of Obama-era military reforms, now steering Pentagon policy advice.
- Michèle Flournoy – Held major Pentagon roles under Clinton and Obama; often discussed as a potential Secretary of Defense under Hillary Clinton or Biden.
- Colin Kahl – National Security Advisor to then-VP Biden, later Under Secretary of Defense for Policy under Biden. Key Biden ally and architect of many failed Middle East strategies during the Obama years.
- Susan Rice – National Security Advisor under Obama; Domestic Policy Advisor under Biden. Central to Obama’s foreign policy blunders and later helped craft Biden’s radical domestic agenda.
- Dana Shell Smith – Career diplomat; served as U.S. Ambassador to Qatar under Obama.
- Eric Edelman – Undersecretary of Defense for Policy under George W. Bush; strong neoconservative background.
- Jon Huntsman Jr. – Served under George W. Bush (Ambassador to Singapore) and Obama (Ambassador to China); briefly served under Trump (Ambassador to Russia).
- Kori Schake – Held roles under Bush; associated with AEI and other think tanks; known for hawkish, internationalist views.
In a statement issued late Thursday, Chief Pentagon Spokesman Sean Parnell made clear that the department was taking a new direction:
“Yesterday, informed by the recently concluded 45-day review of DOD advisory committees, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth directed the conclusion of service of all members of each DOD advisory committee that had been subject to the review, consistent with applicable law.
Secretary Hegseth appreciates the members’ efforts on behalf of the department and the United States of America, but changes are needed to support the new strategic direction and policy priorities of the department and to ensure departmental resources are used efficiently.”
Susan Rice lashed out at Pete Hegseth after she was shown the door on Thursday night. Of course, she hurled racist and sexist epithets to attack the current Secretary of Defense.
During an interview with No Lie with BTC podcast host Brian Taylor Cohen, Rice criticized Hegseth, calling him incompetent and claiming he was promoted solely because he is “a white, male, Christian, cisgender, macho MAGA man.”
Susan Rice: “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.
But let’s also be clear, there’s a serious point here. 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 religious minority, 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. Anybody who fits the mold of somebody who is not a white Christian cisgender male, is by definition in this administration deemed inferior. That is the vast majority of the people in this country.”
That was really ugly, even for Susan.

Susan Rice is the last person you would want in this role. She leaves in her wake a trail of genocide, failed regimes, ISIS, and lies when she retired from the Obama administration in 2017.
This ad appeared in The New York Times in February 2015. It highlighted her role in the Rwandan genocide.
“Susan Rice has a blind spot: Genocide,”
The ad attacks Obama’s National Security Advisor, Susan Rice, and her history of genocide.
Rabbi Shmuley wrote this on his website:
Need someone to fraudulently blame the murder of an American Ambassador in Libya on a stupid film? Send Susan to the Sunday talk shows.
Need someone to savage the leader of the only democracy in the Middle East as damaging the “fabric” of Israel’s relationship with the United States? Put Susan in the makeup chair of Charlie Rose.
Yes, it seems there is nothing Susan isn’t prepared to do.
And why should that surprise us?
This is the same Susan Rice who forbade Israel from criticizing John Kerry in her infamous tweet: “Personal attacks in Israel directed at Sec Kerry totally unfounded and unacceptable.” Yes, Israel’s freedom of expression is circumscribed by none other than Susan Rice.
But there is another reason Susan Rice’s attack on the Prime Minister of Israel on Charlie Rose merits special opprobrium and that is the unique insensitivity she is famous for when it comes to genocide.
Iran is threatening to annihilate Israel. It is building the bombs to make that possible. It has lied to the world for more than a decade about its nuclear program. Iran is an oil superpower and energy exporter that needs nuclear energy about as much as I need a pork sandwich.America is about to do a bad deal with Iran that will leave them something in the range of 5000 spinning centrifuges enriching Uranium. Israel is not party to the talks. It has been cast in the same position of Czechoslovakia in the Munich agreement of 1938 where Britain and France negotiated away Czech security (and much of the country) without the Czechs even allowed to be present.
And while Israel faces the possibility of genocide, Susan Rice shows gross insensitivity to an Israeli leader for simply speaking out.
But why shouldn’t Netanyahu entrust Israeli security to Susan Rice?
Perhaps its because of her record of trivializing genocide.
Read the rest here.
Susan Rice is also famous for going on FIVE Sunday talk shows and lying about the Benghazi terrorist attack 8 years ago.
It also didn’t stop the failed Obama adviser from lecturing Trump on Syria in 2019.
President Trump hit back twice as hard.
President Trump in 2019: Susan Rice, who was a disaster to President Obama as National Security Advisor, is now telling us her opinion on what to do in Syria. Remember RED LINE IN THE SAND? That was Obama. Millions killed! No thanks Susan, you were a disaster.

Susan Rice was no foreign policy genius. She was a dunce, and millions are dead today.
No thanks, Susan.
