Donald Trump’s complicit stooge Marco Rubio goes completely off the deep end
Marco Rubio was one of fifty-two Republican Senators who looked at all the proof of Donald Trump’s guilt in his Ukraine extortion scandal and decided to acquit him anyway, without even calling a single witness to publicly testify first. Now that Trump is carrying out a petty revenge tour by ousting people like Colonel Vindman and Ambassador Sondland, who testified to the House, Rubio is going off the deep end trying to align himself even more closely with Trump’s villainy.
Rubio tried spinning up a narrative about how Vindman wasn’t actually fired and was instead merely transferred, and how Trump has the right to fire Sondland at his pleasure. This would be true in a vacuum. But in reality, Trump did this specifically to retaliate against them for testifying against him, which is a felony. It’s yet another criminal charge that Trump will be put on trial for once he’s out of office. In the meantime, every piled on and let Rubio know what a scumbag and blithering idiot he is:
Shame on you defending this behavior. Security escorting Vindman out? Really? https://t.co/k43xgeF1L3

But @marcorubio , must a wounded warrior, a public servant who has served his country for 2 decades, be escorted out of the a White House, like some criminal? That is wrong. https://t.co/ehxz7QLDEo

As if acquitting Trump weren't disgrace enough, now he's rushing to make excuses for him. Is there an award for kissing up to Trump the most? https://t.co/PvPUjIfyFR
