BuzzFeed Editor-in-Chief Ben Smith is interviewing Ben Rhodes on Wednesday and thought he’d go to the public for suggestions on what to ask the former political adviser to Barack Obama and current political contributor to MSNBC and NBC News.
As usual, Twitter was happy to offer up suggestions.
"Now that you're an MSNBC contributor, do you still stand by your statement that reporters literally know nothing?"

Ah, is that the piece where he admitted to creating an echo chamber out of reporters who “literally know nothing”? Yeah, ask about that.
Which journalists he considered to be in his echo chamber https://t.co/a3VRgu1aVD

What does he think about the federal goverment having to pay out millions to tea party groups targeted by the irs under obama's administration. does he feel it gave obama a competitive advantage?

How long did it take for him to regain his ability to speak after Hillary’s loss?
— GRG4Freedom ?? (@kgriffigk4_g) June 12, 2018
Ask him what he was blabbering about while he was tripping over his tongue when Trump won.
Oh, and when Hillary lost. https://t.co/kRb5vlZUTK

Why so much concern for Trump’s negotiating with North Korea? Obama’s negotiations weren’t successes: Russia (Crimea), Syria (red line), Iran ($$$$), Cuba (no human rights/reversed previous “dry foot” policy), and Israel (interfering in their elections while $$ to Palestinians).

Ask him about Iran funding 9/11 and the hijackers and if he still stands by his wonderful deal.

Why he felt it wasn’t important for the Iran deal to have mandatory inspections..but it is for NK?
— Brian Gass (@brianlgass) June 12, 2018
Ask why he repeatedly lies about the “intrusive” verification provisions in the Iran Deal when the deal actually didn’t even let us inspect their military bases.
Also ask him why he generally just sucks at everything. https://t.co/Dgp6tSZdNP

Ask him why the other Obama bros didn’t include him on Pod Save America. https://t.co/Dgp6tSZdNP

Maybe we’ll skip the interview and just watch the video of him breaking down after Hillary’s loss again.
