Susan Rice is reportedly on Joe Biden’s shortlist to be his running mate, and because of this, she’s clearly trying to get ahead of negative stories that are bound to come up should she be selected. The most significant story is the role she played as chief propagandist for the Obama administration after the 2012 terrorist attack on the U.S consulate in Benghazi.

In an interview with The Atlantic’s Edward-Isaac Dovere, she addressed this liability head on.
Dovere: The Sunday-show appearances around the Benghazi attack have become so much of your public identity. Your mother actually warned you not to do it, and thought Hillary Clinton should have instead. In the end, that became an issue getting in your way to be Obama’s secretary of state, and continues to be an issue Republicans attack you over now.
Rice: She said, “Why you?” And I said, “The White House asked me to do it.” And she’s like, “Well, where’s Hillary?” And I said that she’d been asked, but declined. And I presumed—I hadn’t had this conversation with her—that she had had an extraordinarily draining week, having lost four Americans in an American overseas facility, and all the pain and trauma that that entails for the people of the State Department, for the families, for everybody. But I agreed, as a team player. And her instinct was, “I smell a rat. You shouldn’t do it.” And I said, “Mom, don’t be ridiculous. I’ve done this many times before.” She was absolutely right.

Still say he’s going to pick Warren. She knows the issues and has a pretty big following.
It was no mistake that the Clintons transferred weapons sales from the adults in charge (Defense Department) to the State Department in 1993.
Ron Brown had to die to keep those motivations quiet.
Benghazi Rice was disaster at the UN so Obama hid her in the White House Basement
She’s not a POC....................
“Hillary. . had had an extraordinarily draining week, having lost four Americans in an American overseas facility”
That’s a winner.
History re write, I din no nuffin!
He only promised a woman....
I thought he promised a POC woman as well.................
More of the patented Clinton Double Deception.
Look at the bigger picture.....
Libya
Hillary and Obama had the leader of Libya murdered.
Why?
He wasn’t attacking the US.
Exactly like Cuomo, Pelosi, Schumer, Obama, et al. This is straight out of the DNC playbook.
Watta lot of balderash. Hillary took the low road and hid out till the coast was clear.
Benghazi was toxic to Hillary's crass ambitions.
Obama sent Rice on a fool's errand----and the airhead still hasnt figured it out......it cost her the secy of srare job and now the vp job.
Two treasonous faces of treachery.
I guess she can quit the posturing, she’s apparently too black for sleepy Joe.
It’s amazing the black misfit actually thought Americans would sit there and sanguinely accept the hideous video excuse.
The guilty one flees when not even being pursued. Their first instinct is to lie.
