So Suzy Rice tried to have her own Trump comeback at Trump yesterday after he was ripping on her from Twitter.

Then why did you come up and hug me at 2015 WHCD when I’d never met you (which was totally gross) and whisper in my ear that I had been “very unfairly treated” over Benghazi and “was doing a great job for the country”? https://t.co/HG3SU2gfrE

Ohhhhhh boy. That IS kinda odd, right? I mean, conservatives were incensed about Benghazi, Trump appeared to be with us, and yet here he is playing kissyface with Susy Rice.
Oh wait:

I see. She was selling a book, that’s why she was just waiting for the right opportunity to fire this one off.
So I went looking for evidence this happened. The meeting definitely did – remember this was before Trump won the election:

Bizarrely, wannabe journalist April Ryan DELETED that post, probably because it was called “ode to Donald Trump.”
Here’s a screenshot from the wayback machine:
She clearly disliked him, even back then. BUT, in all of these accounts, Rice said he was pleasant. I guess she discovered that it was a “gross” encounter later…
