Rubio Decimates Chris Van Hollen in Glorious Exchange About USAID and Deportation
Share this @internewscast.com

Secretary of State Marco Rubio is wearing multiple hats, not only fulfilling his role as Secretary, but also stepping in as the National Security Advisor, the archivist of the United States, and the administrator of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).

Even with all those hats, he put on another one during a Senate hearing on Tuesday: decimator of Democrats. 

Rubio testified before the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations about the State Department’s budget. 

Nevertheless, Democrats are persisting in creating challenges for themselves with the American public by questioning the Trump administration’s actions related to enforcing immigration laws and revoking visas.

Senator Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) questioned Rubio intensely for seven minutes, concluding with a statement of regret over his initial vote to confirm Rubio as Secretary of State. Rubio’s reply to this was commendable. 

Rubio said that regret “proves I’m doing a great job.”

Gotta love this reaction from Tammy Bruce, the State Department spokesperson, to Van Hollen’s performative outrage. 

Van Hollen went back at Rubio, but was cut off because he didn’t have the floor, and he was out of time. 

The Chair, James Risch (R-ID), told him his time was up, “woefully used,” and his views did not represent the views of the Committee.  

Then Rubio just roasted what Democrats had done for a great four minutes, saying he wouldn’t respond to much of what Van Hollen said because much of it was “untrue.” 

Rubio declared he didn’t regret cutting $10 million for male circumcisions in Mozambique: “I don’t know how that makes us stronger or more prosperous as a nation.” Then there was “$227,000 for Big Cats YouTube Channel.” Oh, and “$14 million for social cohesion in Mali, whatever the hell that means.”

Rubio went on to say yes, they deported people to El Salvador, including gang members, “including the one you had a margarita with.”

That flipped Van Hollen out, but Rubio wasn’t done yet. He went to the heart of how they were trying to stop the Trump agenda through the judiciary. There’s a “division” in the government, and the judiciary can’t dictate the foreign policy of the United States, he said. That isn’t how our system works. 

Then Rubio dealt with the nonsense the left is spreading about “snatching people.” If you get a visa, that’s a privilege, not a right, he explained, and if you do something that violates that privilege by being involved in violent protests, then he’s going to revoke yours. He’d revoke more, he said, as Van Hollen tried to interrupt again. Then the Chair shut it down. 

Now that’s a great performance by Rubio. Not only did he smack down Van Hollen, but he stood up with gusto for the Trump agenda and called out the way that the judiciary is wrongly being used to try to curtail their agenda and dictate policy.
