Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin (R) said the criticism of U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice over the September 11 attack in Benghazi, Libya has nothing to do with racism or sexism.
“What the heck does this have to do with gender, or skin color, or anything else? This has to do with competency, and Susan Rice’s handling of Libya has been part and parcel of the Obama Administration’s handling of Libya, which has been appalling,” Palin said Friday on “On the Record” with Greta Van Susteren. “It’s been atrocious, and it’s really indicative of a lack of competency and truthfulness, and certainly transparency, in the entire Obama Administration. It has nothing to do with her gender.”
Rice, considered to be a top candidate to replace Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State, has battled critics since the Benghazi attacks, especially Republican Senators John McCain (Ariz.), Lindsey Graham (S.C.) and Kelly Ayotte (N.H.) After meeting with Rice about the attack, Graham said he was even “more disturbed” about Rice’s explanation of the incident.
