Obama adviser Ben Rhodes claims Obama didn’t spy on Americans — instantly receives brutal fact check
President Donald Trump took to Twitter early on Saturday to bash NBC News anchor Chuck Todd for reporting on the investigation into alleged collusion between Trump’s campaign and Russia instead of focusing on “Obama surveillance.”
Trump tweeted:
But Ben Rhodes, who served as a senior national security adviser for former President Barack Obama, took issue with Trump’s claim that the Obama administration surveyed him.
“There is no Obama SURVEILLANCE SCANDAL even when you capitalize the words,” he tweeted at Trump.

However, Twitter was quick to hit back at Rhodes, given the Obama administration’s record of surveillance — which isn’t the best. Under Obama’s leadership, domestic spying became a key issue after they were caught spying on journalists from the Associated Press and Fox News correspondent James Rosen.
The Obama administration was even forced to weather a massive NSA spying scandal after NSA contractor Edward Snowden leaked thousands of NSA documents, which revealed government collection programs like PRISM.
Needless to say, no one was buying Rhodes’ lies.
Good thing for Ben no one remembers Prism or James Rosen. twitter.com/brhodes/status…
Eh.
Tbh this sort of gaslighting worked better when you guys were in power and reporters had an incentive to echo it. twitter.com/brhodes/status…
Perhaps, perhaps not. But we most assuredly won't be taking *your* word for it. twitter.com/brhodes/status…
@brhodes Oh look the guy who lied to America about the Iran deal has something to say. That's cute.— EducatédHillbilly™ (@RobProvince) April 1, 2017
@brhodes @EvelynNFarkas admitted to it. It was uncovered by Intel source.
Right?
And this guy made a great point:
Enough said.
