Rubio stated on Fox Information Sunday:

I feel the trial is silly. I feel it’s counterproductive. We have already got a flaming fireplace on this nation and it’s like taking a bunch of gasoline and pouring it on the fireplace. Second, I look again on the time, for instance, Richard Nixon who clearly dedicated crimes and wrongdoing and in hindsight, we’d all agree that the president’s pardon was essential to maneuver ahead and historical past held Richard Nixon fairly accountable for what he did in consequence. By way of the principles, the president is entitled to due course of.

He’s entitled to have a protection. He’s entitled to current testimony and proof if obligatory and the home doesn’t have a lot of a report of witnesses and so forth as a result of they frankly rammed it by means of in a short time. So I feel clearly equity is essential irrespective of who it’s we’re speaking about however I simply need to repeat. I feel that is going to be actually dangerous for the nation. It’s going to take us, not simply hold us from specializing in actually essential issues but in addition simply going to stir it up much more and make it tougher to get issues accomplished shifting ahead.

Sen. Rubio’s reply to a home terrorist assault on the US Capitol is to not do something that may make the home terrorists indignant. The Republican Get together has gone from standing as much as terrorists to be run by them.

The way in which to make it possible for a home terror assault on the nation’s Capitol doesn’t occur once more is to carry the person who incited the rebellion accountable.

Marco Rubio’s cowardly response reveals that Republicans proceed to dwell in worry of Trump and his supporters. Sen. Rubio would like to disregard a home terror assault in order that Trump supporters don’t get mad.

Sen. Rubio continues to dwell all the way down to his status as a profile in cowardice.
