The chart lists some Obama administration officials more than once, including former President Obama and former national security adviser Susan Rice, who are both featured twice.

Several former Obama administration officials mocked the chart on social media, including longtime Democratic operative Ronald Klain, who served as Obama's Ebola czar, former White House communications director Dan Pfeiffer and former Obama speechwriter Jon Favreau, among others.

This chart clearly shows that there were people, places, and things that can be connected by the drawing of line segments between them. https://t.co/MKfKFMdiW2 — Ronald Klain (@RonaldKlain) November 14, 2017
