Marco Rubio Has Complete Meltdown Trying To Defend Trump’s Love Of Putin

Marco Rubio appeared on ABC’s This Week on Sunday, and things didn’t go well for the Secretary of State. Rubio was asked about Donald Trump’s relationship with Vladimir Putin and his tense exchange with Volodymyr Zelensky on Friday, and Rubio had a complete meltdown trying to explain everything that has happened and everything that could possibly happen. The main takeaway is that Rubio has no idea what he’s doing, and he basically admitted that in his meltdown. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains what happened.

Secretary of State, Marco Rubio continues to prove that he is in over his head and literally has no idea what's going on anywhere in the world at any given time. And he basically admitted as much during his conversation with George Stephanopoulos on ABC's this week on Sunday. The confrontation between Stephanopoulos and Rubio got a little heated at times, but overall, the takeaway is that Rubio repeatedly admitted he's got no idea what's happening anywhere. Right? And of course, they were specifically talking about the blowup that Donald Trump and JD Vance had this past Friday with, uh, Omir Zelensky, president of Ukraine. And Rubio really couldn't make sense of any of it because he's a complete and total moron who doesn't know anything. Let me read you what Rubio had to say. The president is basically saying there's this horrible war. It's been going on for three years. It is a bloody stalemate, a meat grinder type war, and he wants it to end. How does it end? It's very simple. The only way it ends is if Vladimir Putin comes to a negotiating table right now. President Trump is the only person on earth who has any chance whatsoever of bringing him to a table to see what it is he would be willing to end the war for.

And then he admitted that the Trump administration has no idea what Putin's demands were for a peace agreement, maybe their demands will be unreasonable. We don't know, but we have to bring them to the table. I've said from the very beginning, maybe they don't want to deal either. We don't know, but we haven't talked to them in three years. That's also not true, by the way. But I do love how repeatedly he's like, I don't know. Maybe they do, maybe they don't. I don't know why, why are you talking to the Secretary of State about this? I don't know about world affairs.

He's just admitting that he's an idiot. This is the dumb that we have in charge of things like this. When he was in the Senate, I had repeatedly said, for years and years and years, he is the dumbest human being in the Senate. Um, of course, Tommy Tuberville now holds that title, but Rubio, for years, I've been telling everybody he is just genuinely a stupid person. Very dumb, doesn't know anything about anything. And now this know nothing is basically our foreign policy guy. And then he goes on the news two days after the blow up in the Oval Office and is like, I don't, I don't know what anybody wants. You know, maybe they don't even want anything. Maybe they want everything. Maybe they want some things, but not others. You know, it really, nobody knows, but we gotta get 'em at the table.

Yeah, no crap. Dude. Biden tried to get him to the table for three years. Russia wants Ukraine. That's what they want. Okay? They will stop short of nothing less. So I, I don't know what you're expecting him to do, but he wants at least parts of Ukraine, if not the entire country. He will settle for nothing less. But then Stephanopoulos asked Rubio why the Trump officials refused to call Putin a dictator when they had so readily made the same claim about Zelensky. And Rubio got a little here and he said, we've spent three years calling Vladimir Putin names. That's not the point. We all understand that Putin is not going to be an easy negotiator in this regard. We all get that, but we have to start the process to see if something is even possible. And I honestly am puzzled. I just don't understand.
