Actor Frankie Muniz apparently isn't a fan of newly appointed National Security Adviser Susan Rice.
The star of the TV show "Malcolm in the Middle" tweeted out his displeasure with President Obama's choice for the job Wednesday.
"Really? Susan Rice? National Security Adviser? Really? Another #ObamaFail. Wake up people," Muniz said. The actor, who now drums in the band Kingsfoil and drives racecars, hadn't previously shown any inclinations towards conservatism. After President Obama's inauguration he said it was "nice to have people excited" about the election.
It's not clear what Muniz plans to do about his displeasure with Obama. He did tweet in 2011 that he was interested in running for office in 2016 — but quickly clarified that he was joking.
