The Obama Administration Official That Chris Wallace Briefly Paused His Program to Single Out

"Fox News Sunday" host Chris Wallace again skewered National Security Adviser Susan Rice Sunday for failing to appear on his show over the weekend.

“By the way, National Security Advisor Susan Rice is appearing on two Sunday Shows today, but the White House still has not made her available to us since we interviewed her back in September of 2012 just five days after the Benghazi attack," he said on his program.

In February, Wallace suggested Rice may be avoiding his program because she's afraid of tough questioning.

“I wanted to ask the Obama Administration about the crisis in Ukraine, but they decided to put National Security Advisor Susan Rice on only one show today in her first Sunday appearance since 2012 when she blamed the Benghazi terror attack on reaction to an anti-Islam video,” Wallace said at the time. “Of course FOX has led the way in questioning how the administration handled Benghazi.”

“Perhaps Susan Rice didn’t want to answer the tough questions we would have asked,” he concluded.
