It's truly remarkable how much more straightforward and articulate Rubio is compared to Blinken. Thank God.

This is a strange interview... ABC is actually letting a guest talk without interrupting with their own views

[mileskunzle]

ABC still gives this guy a job when he got the network sued ?😂

[Ryanlexz]

ABC Mad he get 99 confirmation from the senate 🤣

What a fantastic Secretary of State the US has got. Great choice by Trump.

[Nebarus]

Watched his hearings, he is very knowledgeable and competent!

Why don’t the media talk about Biden pardoning his entire family and ministration

[kelechukwuanozyk]

I like the way Senator Marco Rubio pushed aside that crazy question.
The country is in a serious mood now, and the journalist is busy asking about January 6 pardon.
That question is not relevant and Marco Rubio has moved on.

Congratulations to Rubio. A great Secreiof State

How can he promote peace when he also implies invading Canada, Greenland and Panama?

[alexleshchinsky]

The $15M fine against ABC is too small for the insult

[Narkkarihampuusi]

China will have awful time with this administration and Rubio will be a big part of that.

I don't think Secretary of State Rubio will last a year. He looks beat up already.

[ramsaybolton]

And to think, almost 10 years ago Rubio and Trump we’re battling each other during the Republican primary. How times have changed.

[prisshdz]

“Little Marco” has come a long way. He now has more experience and this is his time to prove himself he can do more. 👏🏼💪🏽

[malakmusic]

If Biden can pardon his son than President Trump can also pardon who he feels deemed ....

[suestudebaker]

Can't believe George is still on the air.

[orlandoalessandrini]

The sad thing about TikTok is that people spill their entire lives on the platform, coercion free.

[shanemcquerry]

Step had to pay 16 million running his mouth lmao

Peace can only be achieved through strong measures with any dictator, but especially Putin.

[obinitv]

So George Slopadopolous somehow missed the news of Sleepy Joe pre-emptively pardoning family and friends. What a shame !
