Former national security adviser Susan Rice is criticizing the Trump administration for making it difficult for President-elect Joe Biden to transition into office.
MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell noted the United States is in the thick of the COVID-19 pandemic as well as threats to national security.
She mentioned Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s efforts to “cement” what she says is an anti-Palestinian policy.
Mitchell also brought up Trump’s decision to fire top U.S. cybersecurity official Chris Krebs for calling the election the “most honest” and “safest” in American history.
“This is the most irresponsible leadership during a transition that I think any of us have seen in our lifetimes if not in the history of the republic,” Rice said.
She added, “Donald Trump has lost the election, it’s clear. His legal challenges are failing and he’s running out of rope.”

Rice argued this is “not the moment to be playing games with national security and with the health and the safety of Americans” amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
