Speaking in an interview on the podcast “Stay Tuned with Preet Bharara,” a very left-leaning interview show, radically far-left former Biden and Obama ally, advisor, and ambassador Susan Rice declared that she and others in the political left are biding their time and waiting to get “revenge” on Trump supporters for what is now ongoing.
For reference, Rice long attempted to present as something of a moderate, but her politics have become increasingly radical in recent years, with her time in the Biden Administration somehow even more radically leftist than what she was known for during the Obama years. As such, she is something of a gauge for what the politically in-power or power-adjacent slice of the radical left thinks.
In this case, based on Rice’s words, it appears that what they are thinking about and considering is how to threaten and attack MAGA Americans, from average voters to the business executives who helped get President Trump elected to the appointees who support fulfilling his administration’s key goals. Such is what she made very clear.
Doing so in the February 19th interview, Rice said, broaching the subject of revenge and serving it, “A very prominent public figure, who has served at nearly the very highest levels, once told me … ‘Revenge is best served cold,’ and the older I get, the more I see the wisdom of that.”
Continuing, she articulated whom she plans to get revenge on, saying, “When it comes to the elites, you know, the corporate interests, the law firms, the universities, the media … it’s not going to end well for them, for those that decided that they would act in their perceived very narrow self-interest, which I would underscore, is very short-term self-interest, and, you know, take a knee to Trump.”
Later on, she added, again being very threatening, “They’re now starting to realize, wait a minute, no, this is not popular. Trump is not popular. What he is doing, whether on the economy and affordability or on immigration now, is not popular, and there is likely to be a swing in the other direction, and they are going to be caught with more than their pants down.”
Adding to that by breaking out yet another threat, the woke Obama-Biden ally said that those who were involved with Trump will be held “accountable”, saying, “They’re going to be held accountable by those who come in opposition to Trump and win at the ballot box.”

She added, “And I can tell you, Preet, as I talk to leaders in Washington, leaders in our party, leaders in the states, if these corporations think that the Democrats when they come back in power are going to, you know, play by the old rules and [say] ‘”Never mind, we’ll forgive you for all the people you fired, all the policies and principles you violated, all the laws you’ve skirted,”
Getting to her conclusion of that point, Rice insisted, “I think they’ve got another thing coming … they’re going to be surprised. Democrats have had a bellyful, and we’re not going to play by, you know, the old set of rules.” Rice then declared, “We’re not going to be suckers … there will be an accountability agenda.”
Watch her here:
Susan Rice offers a taste of what’s coming should the left retake power — promises Democrats will punish corporations and other institutions who have “taken a knee to Trump.”
“It’s not going to end well for them.”
