Condoleezza Rice slams Democrats for 'fear mongering' during 2014 midterm

Condoleezza Rice, the former Secretary of State during the presidency of George W. Bush, came out on November 6, just two days after the 2014 midterm elections to slam Democrats who were attempting to use race against Republicans during the election.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - "The idea that (Democrats) would play such a card and try fear mongering among minorities just because (they) disagree with Republicans, that they are somehow all racists, I find it appalling. I find it insulting," she said while on Fox News.

She and Brian Kilmeade, the show's co-host, were referring to the campaign held by the Georgia Democratic Party, which dispensed flyers that asked voters to prevent another shooting like that which occurred in Ferguson, Missouri.

"We are not race blind. Of course we still have racial tensions in this country. But the United States of America has made enormous progress in race relations and is still the best place on Earth to be a minority," Rice continued.

Added to this, she warned President Obama against taking unilateral action to grant amnesty to million of illegal immigrants in the U.S.

"We can't have a circumstance in which we are going after a problem as meddlesome and potentially divisive as immigration by executive action only," she said. "This has to go through the people's representatives."

Rice also took the interview as an opportunity to comment on potential 2016 candidates, as well as dismissing the idea that she would run.

"I am a professor at Stanford. I am a happy professor at Stanford' that's where I am staying. I had a chance to be Secretary of State. I'm an international relations specialist; it doesn't get better than that."
