During an interview with CBS on Sunday morning, Florida senator Marco Rubio claimed that the lies against Donald Trump are out of control.
There was a time when Marco Rubio was battling Donald Trump for the Republican nomination. At that time, the Florida senator, once thought to be the party's future, would unload on Trump and his history of questionable dealings.
Considering what Trump became, and Rubio's willingness to support him through think and thin, those days seem like they happened ages ago. Rubio proved this during a recent interview In the spot, host Margaret Brennan asked:
"Well, in terms of safety and security, that sound bite a moment ago from Donald Trump talking about training guns on the face of Liz Cheney, the Trump campaign - says that was about foreign policy. Well, we just played it for our viewers and listeners who heard it. Isn’t it possible to make the case without using rhetoric like that?"
Rubio answered, "But Donald Trump doesn’t talk like someone who’s been in Washington for 30 years. He doesn’t say it– (when asked about training guns on her face) –the way I would have said it. No, but that’s not what he said. Margaret, you guys know that. Come on, everybody knows exactly what he was saying. What he was saying is–."
The Florida senator later closed:
"I’ve never seen such a concerted effort- and look, I’ve always believed there’s bias, because no one’s unbiased, but I’ve never seen such a concerted effort like what I’ve seen, especially in the last two weeks, among multiple media outlets in this country to, in some cases, breathlessly distort and lie about what’s being said, and to create and manufacture these gotcha moments against Donald Trump. I’ve never seen it before."
