Former National Security Advisor Susan Rice said Friday that President Donald Trump and those who supported him in the Senate should be sent to the “trash heap of history.”
In an appearance on MSNBC, Rice was asked about being a possible vice president pick for 2020 presidential candidate Joe Biden, to which she said whoever Biden picks will be fine with her, as long as Trump and his supporters in the Senate are voted out of office.

Rice responded by saying “Well, Andrea, you’re kind to say that. But I think it’s important to reflect on what senator Klobuchar said. First of all, she ran an impressive campaign.

Somebody who can heal and unify the nation and remove Donald Trump and consign him and those who supported him in the senate to the trash heap of history,” Rice continued.
