Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright had these words about President Trump in the wake of the Mueller indictments against over a dozen Russian nationals for meddling via social media in the 2016 U.S. election:
The only thing more stunning than the scale of Russian interference uncovered today is the fact that an American President is taking no action to protect our country against an ongoing threat. This is a dereliction of duty.

Who wants to tell her? Fortunately several people:
Yeah, you do realize this was all happening under the sterling leadership of Barack Hussein Obama, right? Oh, and nice job on Rwanda during your tenure btw… https://t.co/dLb5Y3frnV

OOF.
I'm sure you hurled this same criticism at Barack Obama when he knew of and IGNORED this very same Russian interference with the election process. Oh, you didn't? Shocker. https://t.co/4psEyw5Clf

You know, Madame Secretary-I agree with you that President Obama who KNEW about it did NOTHING but turn loose the FBI and DOJ on private citizens. It WAS a dereliction of duty of Pres Obama and it was big of you to admit it. https://t.co/STeCUdJEG2

It is better if we all take a deep breath and figure out how to stop this and protect us https://t.co/ltV5NdOpfG

Also, maybe Albright doesn’t remember this infamous moment from 2012:
