Reply to comment by Groundbreaking_War52 in TIL: While in office, President Jimmy Carter had to physically defend himself from a rabbit. by Forever_Overthinking
The claim that the Republicans blamed the killer rabbit for the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan was made by Carter’s own Press Secretary, Jody Powell. There is no other substantiation for that claim in the Wikipedia article.
I saw Jody Powell speak at a business conference in 1981, and he was so unimpressive that almost the entire audience was shocked that he had been a senior White House official.

Carter didn’t hire the best people but that claim about Afghanistan may hold water.
