Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice shut down NBC host Savannah Guthrie on Wednesday for asking a question that suggested Russia interfered in the 2016 election to help Donald Trump win.
“Do you think it’s possible that Russia’s election interference actually worked?” Guthrie asked Rice during a “Today” interview. “It actually elected Donald Trump over Hillary Clinton?”
“I don’t think there is any evidence of that. And, you know, I really don’t think that’s a good conversation to have,” Rice fired back, according to Fox News. “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,” Rice continued, adding that American voters deserve credit for putting trump in office. She also said that there are far more important questions that we should be asking here.
“The question is: Are we going to be responsive to some of the messages that were out there….People who felt that they were disadvantaged by globalization, the unemployed coal miner in West Virginia, the opioid-addicted person in Pennsylvania, are we going to be responsive to those people?” Rice asked. “That’s really the question we should be asking.”

Many social media users have been praising Rice for “schooling” Guthrie on the issue of Russian interference, which many have said is a conspiracy theory pushed by liberals to discredit Trump’s presidency.

Unlike the Svannah Guthries of the world & nbc/cnn, Condoleezza Rice has her stuff together & knows how to bring it.
Guthrie shld thank Condi’ for not taking her down further than she did. Guthrie left studio with all her faculties torn asunder.

Condoleezza Rice lays the smackdown on Savanah Guthrie!
“That’s not the discussion we need to have”
Rice gives credit to Trump voters and dismisses any help from Russia. There are still great people that show up on TV. Thank you, Condi! pic.twitter.com/QWhYLGu6Ag
