Richard Grenell blasts former Biden, Obama aide Susan Rice on X
President Donald Trump picked one of the best teams in the business to help run his administration, and it's paying dividends every single day.
The latest evidence of that is an exchange between Ric Grenell, the Trump administration's special presidential envoy for special missions, and Susan Rice, an Obama and Biden-era diplomat.
According to Fox News, Grenell torched Rice on his X account, reminding her that the policies she helped shape under Obama and especially Biden had landed the United States in two wars.
Grenell, like Trump, is known for holding nothing back, and that's exactly what he did when he excoriated Rice on social media.
Your guy couldn’t even talk to Putin. For 3.5 years! Your policies helped usher in a war in Ukraine, Gaza…and Rwanda if you remember," Grenell wrote.
"And then you lied about Libya - it wasn’t caused by a video," Grenell added, referring to claims echoed by Hillary Clinton that an anti-Islam video led to the terror attack in Benghazi that resulted in American deaths.
"You made that up…. Donald Trump handed you peace in the Middle East and Europe - you handed us two wars. We see you," Grenell continued.

Grenell's response was to a post Rice had made, which was a reaction to a report from Mollie Hemingway.
Fox News noted:
The Federalist's Mollie Hemingway had posted to X speculating that Rice and other Democrats may have "personally" advised Zelenskyy on acting "hostile and to try to goad Trump into blowing up" during the meeting, sparking Rice to weigh in.
"You clowns are up to the same old tired crap. When your guy screws up and royally embarrasses himself and the U.S., you try to change the subject and lie about a favorite target to distract and deflect. For the record, I have never met Zelenskyy and never spoken to him. Ever. Or advised him or anybody around him," Rice wrote.
She added, "It’s a shame that you contend that it is in the U.S. national interest to sell out Ukraine and suck up to Putin."
Social media users weighed in on the exchange.
"I’d rather be called a clown by Suzie Rice than actually BE a psychopathic criminal like her," one X user wrote.
