Summary

Secretary of State Marco Rubio grew visibly frustrated during an ABC News interview when questioned about the Trump administrationā€™s approach to Russia.

Defending Trumpā€™s push for peace talks with Putin, Rubio insisted negotiations were necessary but admitted the administration didnā€™t know Russiaā€™s demands.

He clashed with host George Stephanopoulos over Trumpā€™s refusal to call Putin a dictator and the U.S. siding with Russia in a recent UN vote.

Rubio also compared Trumpā€™s handling of Ukraine to Bidenā€™s approach to Israel, further escalating tensions.

    Manchin was the only Democrat who could win national office in West Virginia. Heā€™s the best my sad state could do.

    Yeah he tanked some important votes but a Republican replacement would have voted that way anyway. At least he stuck with the Democrats most of the time.

    I donā€™t know what the excuse is for Kyrsten Sinema.
