Rubio Says Not Bringing up Chinese Election Interference with China Isn’t Inconsistent with Trump Recently Bringing up the Issue in Recent Speech

EXCERPT:

RUBIO: "Well, again, what the president put out on Thursday, that was a declassification of documents from our intelligence community. That’s what he put out. He declassified intelligence assessments from our intelligence community. But your question was about communist influence. Yeah, the United States doesn’t want to be a communist country. We’re never going to be a communist country. And we’re not gonna allow communist influences to undermine our politics or our society. So I don’t know what the inconsistency you’re referring to is. It’s very clear. You know, obviously, we understand the Chinese system and other systems, but I can tell you our system doesn't want communism and we’re certainly not going to allow communist efforts to undermine American society and drive wedges into our country. That’s what were seeing. By the way, one of the leading culprits of that for many years, the intellectual authors, particularly in out hemisphere, is the Cuban regime, which ourreport on Monday outlined."
