On Monday, former CIA Director John Brennan said in an interview that he is “increasingly embarrassed to be a white male” in reaction to investigations into the Capitol Hill riots on January 6.
Brennan made his bizarre racial comments during an MSNBC panel, where he serves as an intelligence analyst for the news outlet.

Brennan: ‘I’m Increasingly Embarrassed To Be A White Male These Days’
On the panel, Former Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill told host MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace, “I have never seen so many whiny white men calling themselves victims as I saw over the weekend at (the Conservative Political Action Conference)]. I mean, these are all people who think they have a huge grievance from a position of significant privilege.”
McCaskill was asked for her take on Antifa and other left-wing radicals being blamed by some Republicans for the riots on January 6.
McCaskill replied, “It has really become the norm for the new Republican Party that lying is just peachy keen and I can’t believe the majority of America is gonna accept that, especially if we remain vigilant about pointing out what the facts are.”
Wallace then turned to Brennan for comments on this issue.
“Well, I must say, to Claire’s point, I’m increasingly embarrassed to be a white male these days,” Brennan replied,
Wallace laughed. Brennan added, “when I see (what) my other white males (are) saying.”
“It just shows that with very few exceptions like Mitt Romney, Liz Cheney, Adam Kinzinger, there are so few Republicans in Congress who value truth, honesty, and integrity, and so they’ll continue to gaslight the country the way that Donald Trump did,” Brennan said.
Many of us recall that Democrats sang a very different tune about Mitt Romney and the Cheneys before Donald Trump’s arrival on the political scene.
The former CIA director continued, “And the fact that this had such security and safety implications for the American public and for the members of Congress, again, as Claire said, it is just a disgusting display of craven politics that really should have no place in the United States in 2021.”
Isn’t that cute. You know who should have no place in politics, or polite society for that matter, in the United States in 2021?
John Brennan.
Brennan Should Be Ashamed To Be John Brennan
Notice that the few anti-Trump Republicans in Congress who Brennan believes “value truth, honesty, and integrity” are all pro-war George W. Bush-Dick Cheney-style Republicans, including the former VP’s own daughter, Congresswoman Liz Cheney.
Senator Rand Paul, who has battled these hawks – especially Liz Cheney – his entire political career laid out clearly in February 2020 what Brennan should be ashamed of.
When Paul opposed impeaching Trump, Brennan said of Paul, “He typifies the worst of (Trump’s) craven enablers. Any Senator excusing this dangerous behavior makes a mockery of public service.”
That’s when Sen. Paul let Brennan have it.

America Should Be Embarrassed Of John Brennan
“You want to know what’s a mockery of public service, John?” Paul shot back. “Killing 500 people outside of any judicial system. Drone strikes on American citizens. Approving British spies to present a dossier of lies paid for by Hillary. Lying to Congress.”
“Your shame alone should shut you up,” Paul added.
Overall, the pro-Trump libertarian-leaning senator was referring to Brennan’s neoconservative approach to national “security,” extra-judicial drone killings, and involvement with the infamous “Steele dossier” that kicked off Trump’s first impeachment.
The liberal media highlighted Brennan’s role as Obama’s “drone warrior” and “Obama’s drone-master.”
They even called him out for his wild 2011 claim that his drone strikes hadn’t caused “a single collateral death.”
If you recall, Obama had a secret “kill list,” which Brennan’s drone strikes helped to carry out.
The New York Times reported that President Trump ended Brennan’s “$1 billion secret CIA war in Syria,” in which Brennan and company armed “Syrian rebels,” with weapons falling into the hands of Al Qaeda allies.
At his confirmation hearing to be CIA Director, Brennan told Congress he knew about the CIA’s torture program and did nothing to stop it.
Many people don’t remember, but multiple mainstream outlets called on John Brennan to be fired for lying to Congress.
Bob Woodward reported that Brennan endorsed the infamous “Steele dossier” that led to the years-long Russia collusion hoax.
So the former CIA head is embarrassed of being a “white male.”
The entire country should be embarrassed of John Brennan.
