Thank you Condi!
Always bringing a level-headed approach to what in this case was a stupid question.
Savannah Guthrie might be easy on the eyes, but this question was so far out of bounds it should have been hit with a whistle and a penalty flag!
Come on Guthrie, you’re better than that!
Or at least you should be!
As reported by the Western Journal:
“Today Show” host Savannah Guthrie used an interview Wednesday to try to breathe new life into the liberal boogeyman that President Donald Trump is somehow in the Oval Office as a product of Russian interference.
But Condoleezza Rice, former secretary of state, former national security advisor, and one of the most accomplished women in modern American politics, gave her question more than it deserved — much more.
Guthrie, a liberal so reliable she was trusted as a moderator for NBC’s Democratic primary debates, tried to smear the results of the 2016 election with a question that strongly intimated Trump has no business being in the White House.
It didn’t get very far.
Guthrie was nearing the end of an interview with Rice and Philip Zelikow, executive director of the 9/11 Commission and a named author of “The 9/11 Commission Report,” about their new book, “To Build a Better World: Choices to End the Cold War and Create a Global Commonwealth,” when the conversation turned to the 2016 election — and ensuring the security of future elections.
“Do you think it’s possible that Russia’s election interference actually worked?” Guthrie asked.
“It actually elected Donald Trump over Hillary Clinton?”
Rice didn’t miss a beat before brushing the idea away — with gratifying finality.
“I don’t think there’s any evidence of that,” Rice replied.
“And, you know, I really don’t think that’s a good conversation to have. I think that really does devalue the people in Wisconsin and Michigan and others who decided to vote for President Trump.
“Whether you like this president or not, whether you believe that he should have been president or not, let’s give the credit to the Americans who went out and voted for somebody who they thought would bring change.”
