Susan Rice calls Trump administration 'racist to its core,'

[left-of-center2012]

Former national security adviser Susan Rice slammed the Trump administration as “racist to its core” and said that supportive senators belong in the “trash heap of history.”

Rice said on MSNBC regarding the resignation of Secretary of State for Legislative Affairs Mary Elizabeth Taylor, the Trump administration’s highest ranking female African American official:

“I'd say better late than never. You know, to serve an administration which has been racist to its core for the last three and a half 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 is just disgraceful,” Rice said on MSNBC...

Rise is in the running to be Biden’s running mate. Pressure has ramped up on the former vice president to put a woman of color on the Democratic 2020 ticket in light of the protests, and his campaign has confirmed that Rice, who served in the Obama administration, is being considered.

1. Ambassador Rice is correct

2. Absolutely. Its core *is racism.*

This administration isn't just incidentally or negligently or cluelessly racist; it's fundamentally and intentionally racist. Along with grift, racism is why it exists in the first place.

5. That either puts her over the top or wipes her out of the VP consideration

It would seem to me.

9. Generally they don't want extremes on the ticket

They want stoic down the middle types.

11. Nothing about her or her comment says "extreme"

12. Well it will to a lot of people

We know Trump is going to make the race about race as much as possible so maybe we go along with it in a way.

It’s all about turnout for us.

6. Well... It's true...

Sad... But true.
