Rice, a former Obama White House official, told CNN host Wolf Blitzer that Kushners claim would be laughable if it werent so deadly serious.
Its ridiculous, she said. I dont know how anybody with a straight face can call this a great success and declare this a mission accomplished moment when more than 60,000 Americans are dead.
Rice also noted that according to the experts, the pandemic is far from over. Citing Dr. Anthony Fauci, whose judgment she said she trusts implicitly, Rice said that a second wave of infections is expected for the fall.
Fauci, who heads the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, told CNN that if states ease restrictions too soon, there could be a rebound that would get us right back in the same boat that we were a few weeks ago and that a second wave was inevitable.
