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.

    Iā€™m beginning to feel thereā€™s a fundamental disconnect between the vocabulary of everyday people and the words journalists use. I can only imagine how the dialogue goes around a journalistā€™s house.


    ā€œHoney, have you heard about the Winstons?ā€
    ā€œNo, why?ā€
    ā€œFred from accounting SLAMMED theyā€™re planning to move to Wisconsin.ā€
    ā€œOh, I see. Did you GRILL him about where exactly theyā€™d be going?ā€
    ā€œYeah, I HAMMERED him with questions until he MELTED down. IN TEARS, he SCREAMED at me, ā€˜Yeah, somewhere near Madison.ā€™ā€
    ā€œā€¦screamed?ā€
    ā€œYou knowā€¦ politely.ā€

      ā€œWe had fun at this amazing diner. The food was out of this world!! Literally the best night of my life.ā€

      ā€œSo you had fun and ate good food?ā€

      Feels like you gotta reach for top shelf words to keep up.
