Progressives say Susan Rice's extensive past holdings in an array of industries at odds with liberal causes could make her ill-suited to be VP in a Democratic administration
When Susan Rice was under consideration for secretary of state in 2012, she was attacked by environmentalists for holding stock in the controversial Keystone Pipeline XL deal.
At the time, Rice’s financial disclosures showed that she and her husband — scion of a wealthy Canadian family — owned as much as $600,000 worth of stock in TransCanada, the company that owned Keystone. She held stock in TransCanada and other fossil fuel companies for the entire eight years she served in the Obama Administration.
A Rice spokeswoman would not comment on whether she still holds stock in the company that owns Keystone.
