Marco Meltdown: Rubio Furious America Focused on Trump Indictment Instead of ‘Destruction of the Family’
U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL), one of Donald Trump’s top defenders, voiced fury Tuesday over America being focused on the indictment and upcoming arraignment of the ex-president who is facing a 37 federal felony count indictment for violations of the Espionage Act. obstruction, and making false statements.
“I’m saying there’s a lot more damage done there, with sources that are protected by the press, than there is by the allegations – if proven – in this indictment,” Sen. Rubio angrily declared. “Meanwhile, we are watching in real time the damage this is doing to our country. It’s further polarizing us at a time when we have to be united behind things, like, what do we do about the fact that we’ve given away our jobs, de-industrialized America, a shortage of medicines including cancer medicines in our country, China’s expanding all over the world, our military is eroding in its capabilities vis-a-vis China – you name it.”
“I mean, destruction of the family, destruction of community, our borders being overrun,” said the Florida Republican.

“We’re not focused on any of this. We’re focused on an indictment that frankly has no harm and no victim associated with it,” he claimed.
Rubio’s lamentations are exposed as partisan rhetoric by video of him he posted, less than three years ago, saying: “Leaking classified information isn’t just a federal crime, it endangers lives and our national security.”
Earlier in his Fox News interview Rubio also said: “You think this ends here? The next Republican president is going to be under tremendous pressure to bring charges and indict Joe Biden. His family. His crackhead son. Whoever.”
