{UAH} SUZAN RICE DEFENDS XI JINPING AS SHE ATTACKS THE PRESIDENT OF UNITED STATES WAT WAR

Why is Susan Rice using coronavirus as an excuse to shill for China?

Susan Rice just reminded Xi Jinping why he misses her presence in the president's ear.

President Barack Obama's former national security adviser did so with two arguments on Tuesday to MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell.

First, and admittedly at Mitchell's pushing, Rice stated that the Trump administration's description of the coronavirus as the "Wuhan virus" is unacceptable and undermines global cooperation. Viruses can arise anywhere, Rice said, adding that "Wuhan virus" is "race-baiting" and "shameful."

This was news to me. I was under the impression that Wuhan is not a race, but rather a Chinese industrial city where the virus first infected humans.

But Rice wasn't done, adding, "It doesn't serve us well, it doesn't serve the objective of squelching the virus globally, to brand in nationalistic, or xenophobic, or racist terms. We all have to work together..."

Rice's first implication here is that the need for cooperation means it is wrong to criticize China in any regard over the virus, even though the Chinese Communist Party's deception led to its catastrophic mishandling of the virus in the outbreak's earliest stages. You know, when the virus might just have been stopped from becoming a global pandemic.

But then Rice shifted her cooperation-at-all-costs argument on its head.

The former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations did so with a scathing tirade against the Trump administration's handling of the pandemic. And unlike with China, she didn't spare her language here. Trump's response has been "circle of hell" style, Rice suggested, adding that Trump's incompetence will leave much American blood on his hands.

Capping things off, Rice completely ignored China's global campaign of lies to blame the coronavirus on American soldiers. Instead, she reemphasized China's favored rhetoric on how to address the pandemic: "It's a global challenge that is going to require all of us to do our parts ..."

But here's the question: Why is the national security adviser so determined to use a national crisis to preach a defense of the nation which enabled it to become global, and simultaneously launch a tirade against the U.S. government?

The answer, unfortunately, is a familiar one. As with her New York Times op-ed last summer, Rice sees Xi's China as far less of a problem than Trump's America. It's quite sad. Actually, coming from such a senior former American official, it's tragic.

You can watch Rice's comments below.
