Susan Rice on Friday made the pitch for her running as Biden’s VP pick by condemning President Trump and all those that support him in the Senate “to the trash heap of history.”
She appeared to be referring to the February impeachment trial, when the GOP-led Senate acquitted the president of two articles of impeachment. Sen. Mitt Romney became the first senator to vote to remove a president of his own party.
Rice continued: “We need each of those who have been considered [in the] present or in the past to put all of our efforts, regardless of who he chooses, into helping get Joe Biden elected. And Amy Klobuchar reinforced that that was her priority last night, and I admire that enormously, and that’s my view as well.”

The statement also lends support to those tearing down monuments across the nation as it implies that all of history is a ‘trash heap.’
Some Twitter users reacted to the interview by noting the contradictory nature of Mrs. Rice’s messaging. The responses include:
“Nothing like claiming you want to heal the country while saying those who oppose you belong in a trash heap.”
“That’s a harsh way to talk about people, including her [Republican] son!”
“Strangely reminiscent of ‘the basket of Deplorables’ comment [by Hillary Clinton in 2016].
“More tolerance from the left. And you thought they respected your freedom of association.”
On my way to DC!

This is so wrong! It’s unbelievable to see them using the death of George Floyd for political gain, “pressure has increased to pick a black woman with the nationwide protests following the death of George Floyd.”

She is ignorant! She even speaks ignorant and looks ignorant.
What a bitch!
I’m tired of politicians disrespecting the history of the United States; or attempting to pick and chose what we should honor. Every piece of our history is important and should be remembered and embraced.
I’m also tired of politicians insulting Americans for our political beliefs.
I watched as Joe Biden gave a speech with his back to the audience. Yes, let’s vote for a person who doesn’t know which way he is facing!
