Susan Rice, who worked with you side by side when you were in the Biden cabinet, described you as an idiot and called you bitch ass.

Plausible

Why this verdict View evidenceHide evidence
Why we checked itHilton attributes specific derogatory quotes to Susan Rice about the debate opponent — verifiable whether Rice made these statements and in what context.
What we foundSusan Rice calling Xavier Becerra an 'idiot' and 'bitch-ass' is sourced to a single original Axios report; Rice's spokesperson denied it, and all later reporting traces back to that one account rather than independent corroboration.
CorrectedCorrection: originally rated not supported. Changed to plausible after post-debate review on 2026-10-01. The original verdict assumed the target was Kamala Harris, not Becerra, because the verdict engine had no event roster. Re-checked 2026-10-01 with the roster in context: the engine identifies Becerra and rates the claim plausible.
