Susan Rice, the former national security advisor to former President Barack Obama as well as the former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, who may be most famous for claiming that the 2011 Benghazi terrorist attack was precipitated by a video, has weighed in on the 2020 election, snapping that it is to “remove Donald Trump and consign him and those who have supported him in the Senate to the trash heap of history.” Rice attacked Trump for a “series of lies, the disgraceful, despicable lies this president tells.”
Andrea Mitchell of MSNBC brought up Mary Elizabeth Taylor, assistant secretary of state for legislative affairs, who submitted her resignation Thursday, prompting Rice to sound as if she were angling for the vice-presidential slot under presumptive Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden as she maligned members of the Trump administration, saying, “To serve an administration which has been racist to its core for he last 3 ½ years, from comparing the peaceful protesters at Charlottesville to white supremacists, calling white supremacists ‘very fine people,’ all the way through to the recent weeks where the administration has disparaged the Black Lives Matter movement, disparaged the peaceful protesters, and basically made plain that they prefer to stand by a confederate legacy than a modern America, it’s been an administration whose record on race has just been disgraceful.”
