Summary
Secretary of State Marco Rubio grew visibly frustrated during an ABC News interview when questioned about the Trump administrationās approach to Russia.
Defending Trumpās push for peace talks with Putin, Rubio insisted negotiations were necessary but admitted the administration didnāt know Russiaās demands.
He clashed with host George Stephanopoulos over Trumpās refusal to call Putin a dictator and the U.S. siding with Russia in a recent UN vote.
Rubio also compared Trumpās handling of Ukraine to Bidenās approach to Israel, further escalating tensions.
He called it āsane by comparisonā. He didnāt say it was sane. Words mean things.
Itās genocide. Thereās no comparison.
Oh, youāre one of those who canāt distinguish between genocide and super-genocide with golf resorts. I wish the world were as simple as people like you seem to believe.
This really is what people believe.
