Daily Mail: Why me? Obama aide Susan Rice hints she's the victim of sexism and racism for being at center of 'unmasking' storm
* Former National Security Advisor Susan Rice sat down with New York Magazine and discussed why she got so much flack in the 'unmasking' scandal
* Rice said that she didn't want to 'leap to the simple explanation that it's only about race and gender'
* Though she also pointed to the aftermath of the Benghazi attack, noting that Press Secretary Jay Carney, a white male, received less blame
Susan Rice, the Obama administration official blamed for the 'unmasking' of Michael Flynn and others on intelligence reports, aired out some theories to New York Magazine as to why she became the one to blame.
'Let me put it this way,' she said. 'I do not leap to the simple explanation that it's only about race and gender. I'm trying to keep theories to myself until I'm ready to come out with them. It's not because I don't have any.'
But she does hint that her race and gender played a role.
'I've spent a lot of time thinking about this. What do you think?' she asked the magazine reporter.
