Bongino rips idea of Hillary Clinton, Susan Rice joining a Biden admin: 'How thin does your bench have to be?'
'It speaks to the moral vacuum they live in,' he said
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Former Obama national security adviser Susan Rice and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton being considered to join presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden's cabinet is a poor choice, Fox News contributor Dan Bongino said on Friday.
“How thin does your bench have to be to bring Hillary Clinton and Susan Rice back and ask them to, you know, pitch in the game here?” Bongino told "Fox & Friends First."
Bongino said that Rice and Clinton have been involved in the two biggest scandals “of our time.”

Speaking at the 19th Represents Summit on Thursday, Clinton was asked if she would accept a job in the Biden administration.

So if you’re asked to serve, you should certainly consider that.”
Clinton previously served alongside Joe Biden in the Obama administration as Secretary of State. Republicans were critical about her tenure at the State Department because of her handling of the 2012 Benghazi terrorist attack and the controversy over her private email server, which plagued her 2016 presidential campaign.
Rice also hinted at a possible Joe Biden administration role while touting the former vice president's choice of Kamala Harris as his running mate and saying she is committed to helping him govern "in any way he'd like."

“They were both central figures again in the Benghazi scandal which I know the left never wants to talk about. They’ll tell you it is a big conspiracy theory. But, the hard reality is there were four coffins that returned from that place. It is not a conspiracy theory. People died, we still don’t have an adequate explanation,” Bongino said.
