'You clowns': Ex-diplomat Susan Rice snaps back at critics spreading new conspiracy theory

Former U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice argued to CNN's Wolf Blitzer on Friday evening that everything that went down in the disastrous White House meeting between President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was staged. On Saturday, Rice was striking out at her MAGA critics.

"Well, Wolf, in my estimation, it was a setup," said Rice on Friday. "Let's recall the sequence here. Zelensky reluctantly agreed to a bad deal regarding his mineral wealth for which he got nothing in exchange. Not as bad a deal as the original one that the Trump administration proposed, but still nothing in it for Ukraine. He nonetheless was prepared to sign it, to come to Washington, to have the opportunity to try to persuade Donald Trump, before negotiations get really underway, that Ukraine desperately needs security guarantees. So he came, hat in hand, to the Oval Office. Donald Trump kept the pool spray in there for 40 minutes, and was saying things that were outrageous that like, you know, Ukraine started the war and Russia is not the aggressor."

Sitting in his home, Carville expressed alarm about the president's combative stance with Zelensky who has been leading his country's fight with Russia following an unprovoked invasion 3 years ago.

As he explained, "It’s stunning –– I think anybody who watched it saw it and I’m torn for an explanation, but there’s something clear. There’s an expression here in south Louisiana. It’s not totally true, but it’s you mostly hear it from Black people, and they’ll say, ‘that boy ain’t right.’"
