Condoleezza Rice is counting down the
days until the election just like the rest of us, after Deadspin
recently dug up a 2006 speech by Donald Trump in which he calls the former secretary of state a “bitch.”
He allegedly made the insulting remark
while giving a keynote address at the Learning Annex Real Estate &
Wealth Expo at the Javits Center in New York City in front of thousands
of attendees.
From the New York Daily News:
“Condoleezza Rice, she’s a lovely
woman, but I think she’s a bitch,” Trump said to wild applause. “She
goes around to other countries and other nations, negotiates with their
leaders, comes back and nothing ever happens.
Sounding more like a presidential
candidate than a real estate mogul, Trump then set his sights on
[Secretary of Defense Donald] Rumsfeld. “You look at Rumsfeld and we
spend $900 million a year, and arms and legs and lives are wasted,”
Trump said. “You look at all this and you ask what kind of government is
this? … If you don’t have smart people running the government, then
good entrepreneurship will get you nowhere.”
CNN reached out to Rice for comment on the resurfaced remarks.
“Can’t wait until November 9!” she replied, referencing the Wednesday after Election Day 2016.
CNN uncovered a video clip from the
speech showing Trump saying “I wish she was a bitch. I don’t care if
she’s a lovely woman. I want somebody that can go and make deals.” The
Daily News reports these comments were made in addition to the others referenced in their initial 2006 reporting.
Earlier this month, Rice, who does not
frequently post on social media, took to her Facebook account to say
Trump should withdraw from the presidential race.
