Marco Rubio reacts to Trump threatening NATO country to 'pay up'

CNN's Jake Tapper speaks with Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) about former president Donald Trump's recent comments saying he threatened a NATO country and Rubio's decision not to support the bipartisan border security deal. #CNN #News

[ImGettingOld]

Marco really spinning it here. Jake should've pressed him more on Trump's statement. All of Marco's statements have been disingenuous. He still supports MAGA Trump.

[Spiral]

For Marco Rubio to say "that's not what the statement was" immediately after it played shows all you need to know about the coping he needs to do to even wake up in the morning.

[rizzo]

The problem was addressed. The Senate sent a bipartisan bill, and y'all turned it down. The GOP does not want to solve the border problem --- they want it to remain so they have something for Trump to run on. Please.

[cviveros]

Rubio nailed it about Trump. He is exactly correct.

[jdemartini]

Little Marco. Grow a spine. I am so disappointed in republicans, especially those in congress. They put their petty grievances ahead of America and what it stands for.

[ianmclean]

I was foolish for a few brief seconds to think that Rubio had actually grown a spine.

[FINDtheOTHERS]

Trump, who never pays for anything, has a lot of nerve to say this. Will the country wake up in time? I hope so.

Dr. Maya Angelou once said, “When people show you who they are, believe them the first time.”

[twilightbin]

OMG if a Democrat said that about NATO he and other Republicans would repeat this statement and the dangers of electing them over and over. How do these people live with themselves? Trump literally said he would advice Putin to DO WHATEVER HE WANTED. Rubio is like 'don't believe your ears'.

[karenpowell]

Shame on you Marco, you sold your soul to the Devil. You're just straight up lying

[jltiger]

As an austrian i hope american people know that article 5 has been invoked only once in history. After 9.11!!! And it was the US who asked the nato for assistance and nato helped. Trumps speech was shameless, dumb and without a shred of honor. American people deserve definitely better than this guy.

I love how how he’s all in on sending aid to Israel when they don’t really need it at all but hesitates and dodges the question when asked about Ukraine. It’s very telling about what lobbies he is controlled by.

[robswan]

Trump has filed for business bankruptcy four times: the Trump Taj Mahal in 1991, Trump Plaza Hotel in 1992, Trump Hotels and Casinos Resorts in 2004 and Trump Entertainment Resorts in 2009. Each time, the bankruptcy was a Chapter 11 filing.

[Myoldusernamewasgood]

This guy would argue that water isn't wet.

[PatriciaRoberts-vy]

From the guy who stiffed every contractor who worked for him!

[miguelflores]

Damn the bar was set so low and Marco brought a shovel 😂😂😂

[donspencer]

I seem to recall that the only NATO nation that was attacked was USA during 9/11. Many NATO countries were in Afghanistan and paid dearly in young men and women.

[marybardmess]

Marco grovels before Trump. It's disgusting.

[jeandelorme]

Rubio seems to forget one very important thing. His parents were illegal immigrants from Cuba. That was when wet feet/dry feet was still a policy. Under current laws they would have been turned away, he would have been born in Cuba. He is only a US citizen because was born in Miami. He has been a senator since 2011. I can't think of a single thing he has legislated for the good of Florida much less the country.

[romanireva]

He threatened no one. He talked about a verbal exchange he had years ago to make his point about his stance on Nato Which is in fact totally fair. People get a grip. It's pathetic to take every word out of its context to discredit this man. Just remember there weren't ANY wars during his presidential term Something he must be doing right .
