Here we go again…

Liberals seem to be falling back on their favorite excuse for anything ever: Russia.

The disgraced Susan Rice is actually blaming Russia for the violent riots that are spreading all over the country.

Former national security adviser Susan Rice said she sees a pattern in nationwide demonstrations protesting the police killing of George Floyd and the breadcrumbs lead to Russia.

“This is right out of the Russian playbook as well,” Rice said on CNN this weekend. “We can’t allow the extremists, the foreign actors, to distract from the real problems we have in this country.”

Rice said foreign nations have been trying to sow discord in America during times of crisis “for years,” most recently on social media.

“They take any divisive, painful issue … and they play on both sides,” she said. “Their aim is to not simply embarrass the United States, their aim is to divide us.”

Rice’s comments are similar to those made by prominent Republicans and Trump administration officials.

“Tonight seeing VERY heavy social media activity on #protests & counter reactions from social media accounts linked to at least 3 foreign adversaries,” Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, the new acting chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said Saturday night. “They didn’t create these divisions. But they are actively stoking & promoting violence & confrontation from multiple angles.”

So according to Susan Rice, it’s indeed Russia, not Antifa that’s somehow responsible for this.

It’s surprising she didn’t blame a YouTube video this time around…
