Promoting Ambassador Susan Rice to national-security adviser will make it even harder for the American people to trust President Obama, according to Senator Rand Paul.
“I think the president has been struggling to regain the moral authority to lead the nation, and this doesn’t really encourage anyone,” Paul said on Fox News this morning. “I can’t imagine that we would be keeping Ambassador Rice in any significant position, much less promoting her to an important position.”
“How are they going to have the authority to believe what they’re saying when he’s promoting someone who directly and deliberately misled the public over Benghazi?” he asked.
He explained that he has “a great deal of questions” remaining about Benghazi, including whether the U.S. government was engaged in illegal arms-trading in the area, and those issues call into question “the president’s judgment in promoting” Rice.
