‘No one better’ than Susan Rice to lead gun effort, White House says, not VP

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Susan Rice is leading the administration’s gun control efforts.

Jean-Pierre said there is “no one better” than Rice to lead the effort in the wake of a mass shooting Tuesday at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas. She was responding to a question about whether President Joe Biden intended to tap his vice president as a gun czar, a role Biden held during the Obama administration that some Democratic lawmakers have urged the president to fill again.

“We have a whole-of-government approach … that Ambassador Susan Rice is leading, along with other departments,” Jean-Pierre added.

Rice leads Biden’s Domestic Policy Council and was considered a top vice presidential prospect during the 2020 campaign. A veteran of the Obama administration, she drew controversy after downplaying the possibility of a planned terrorist attack when four Americans were killed in Benghazi, Libya. Rice was ambassador to the United Nations at the time.

Jean-Pierre said Rice was well equipped to push the administration’s efforts forward. “She has decades of experience coordinating interagency processes in the federal government,” Biden’s press secretary said. “There’s no one better at bringing department heads to the table to drive the process.”

She also defended the administration’s gun control efforts, urging Congress to act to pass new measures.

    And Rice is a hard nosed bitch that has no problem stepping on as many toes as she sees fit. She has no problem doing the work of the left. Rights be damned. She is also very articulate. Something that the VP lacks when she is talking with people older than 5 years old.
