Summary

Secretary of State Marco Rubio grew visibly frustrated during an ABC News interview when questioned about the Trump administration’s approach to Russia.

Defending Trump’s push for peace talks with Putin, Rubio insisted negotiations were necessary but admitted the administration didn’t know Russia’s demands.

He clashed with host George Stephanopoulos over Trump’s refusal to call Putin a dictator and the U.S. siding with Russia in a recent UN vote.

Rubio also compared Trump’s handling of Ukraine to Biden’s approach to Israel, further escalating tensions.

    There seemed to be quite a few who were just there to sabotage the party from within, such as Manchin.

      Manchin was the only Democrat who could win national office in West Virginia. He’s the best my sad state could do.

      Yeah he tanked some important votes but a Republican replacement would have voted that way anyway. At least he stuck with the Democrats most of the time.

      I don’t know what the excuse is for Kyrsten Sinema.

        He always seemed like the Mitt Romney of the Democrats, Romney loves to take a moral stand against his party, after he’d checked with his party Whip who assures him the measure with pass without his vote.

      Controlled opposition within controlled opposition, maybe.
