Former Obama national security advisor and U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice went gangsta on O.G. rapper Snoop Dogg over his profane attack and threat against CBS journalist Gayle King. Rice told Dogg, “Snoop, back the **** off. You come for @GayleKing, you come against an army. You will lose, and it won’t be pretty.”
TGP reported Thursday, Snoop Dogg posted a video attacking Gayle King over a recent interview with WNBA atar Lisa Leslie where she brought up an old rape accusation against her friend, deceased NBA star Kobe Bryant.

How dare you try to torch my f**kin homeboy’s reputation. Punk mother f**ker! Respect a family and back off b*tch before we come get you.”

On Friday, journalist Yashar Ali opined that few were defending Gayle King because she’s not white, “This video of Snoop threatening @GayleKing is disgusting Referring to Gayle he says: “Funky dog head bitch…respect the family and backoff. Before we come get you.” Seeing very few people defending Gayle…I know that if she were a white anchor she would have much more support”

That prompted Ambassador Rice to call out Snoop in very undiplomatic language, “This is despicable. Gayle King is one of the most principled, fair and tough journalists alive. Snoop, back the **** off. You come for @GayleKing, you come against an army. You will lose, and it won’t be pretty.”
