Andrea Mitchell On Susan Rice: "Woman Of Color Has Been Forced Out"

ANDREA MITCHELL: I think this had become sort of an impossible challenge for her to be confirmed, that she realized that, the White House realized it as well. I think they know they are on good political solid ground, as you were just pointing out. This is not going to help Republicans at all, the fact that a woman and a woman of color has been forced out of a confirmation process even before she was nominated.

O come on Andrea. The last two Republican Secretary's of State were both of color and Condoleezza Rice was a "woman of color". Obviously you are talking to the ill informed, those that watch MSNBC.

She wouldn't shave off the Tash

liberals and their race baiting bullshit

[George Whetstine]

Let Andrea drivel on. It just shows how totally weak their case is.

She withdrew because Obama asked her to, it's as simple as that. Of course Mitchell implies that skin color had something to do with it, it's a lie of course.

[David Kirkland]

typical one-sided lack of true journalism, by the liberal requritators of blase bull.

Shit like this just pisses me off! Let's just forget about the democrats who went against rice for personal reasons and also if Hillary Clinton ( the dem who can do no wrong) publicly opposes rice then there are some red flags. I hate when people make something a gender/race thing when it's not a factor and the sad thing is a good amount of people are believing this.

What is this "woman of color business? Andrea is an agitator. She would fit well in Chicago!!

[drummer703]

In this last election, the Democrats voted against a black woman who ran for congress, Mia Love. The Democrats also voted out a black congressman from Florida, Allen West.

[Zazzle Delacruz]

Mitchell has become lazy and is just phoning it in. Republicans put blacks in the exact same job Susan Rice was nominated for. Only a lazy journalist could overlook that detail.

[darkstonecastle]

God damnit I hate the fucking bitch Andrea Mitchell.

[fedupwitumboth]

Andrea Mitchell is a moron and as dishonest and misleading as the day is long. Susan rice would have been a joke as sec of state. Still would like to know real reason for Clinton's departure.
