Dem. Senator Scolds Rubio About Flip-Flops Since Joining Trump Admin: ‘I’m Not Even Mad…Simply Disappointed’

‘I wonder if you’re proud of yourself in this moment when you go home to your family’

EXCERPT:

ROSEN: "Secretary Rubio, I'm gonna embrace my Jewish mother's instincts for a moment. So as a mother, a senator, and a fellow human being, I can tell you that I’m not even mad anymore about your complicity in this administration’s destruction of U.S. global leadership. I’m simply disappointed. And I wonder if you’re proud of yourself in this moment when you go home to your family, because I’ve always found you, Senator Rubio, to be a bipartisan, pragmatic partner, a true believer that the U.S. is stronger when we lead with diplomacy and development. You have a strong record on this, but I don't recognize Secretary Rubio. A stalwart supporter of Israel. You've watched this administration abandon Saudi normalization with Israel in order to pursue business deals. You were once a fierce critic of Vladimir Putin, but you sat idly by as the president paraded the elected leader of Ukraine for not capitulating to Russia. And worst of all, you kneecapped foreign assistance, including programs that you previously championed, and made America less safe, less strong, less prosperous in doing so. I know you know this in your heart. And I can't make this point any better than you did yourself in 2019 when you said, 'Anybody who tells you that we can slash foreign aid and that will bring us to balance is lying to you.' So with that, I'm just gonna move on to my questions.”
