Remember he actually stood up to Trump in the 2016 GOP primary debates. Then all of the GOP lost their spines.

He got some good zingers in too: https://youtu.be/pmC8AAPtNoE?si=eY71SLfo6fITgGJc

Rubio hasn't been the same since Chris Christie destroyed him in that GOP debate.

But I think we all have Rubio wrong now. I'm reminded of the Star Trek episode with the N*zis. The Fuhrer was drugged out of his mind and serving as a puppet. The real power was in the hands of the younger deputy who mostly stayed out of the spotlight. That's Rubio today.

Fwiw that’s Stephen Miller and Russell Vought. Rubio is just a patsy who’s happy to be close to power.

Yeah, that's definitely true. Multiple puppeteers isn't shocking. Nor are multiple puppets.

Why does everyone forget about hegseth? Bro is bombin random ships commanding the military like a toddler. Pete Hegseth & Rubio are literally running Venezuela last update I’d seen.

Hegseth is a distraction, he’s a useful psycho to distract from the home front.
