Lil' Marco Bends The Knee To Trump: 'Zero Concern' About Threat To NATO
We all knew this would happen. Who are you going to believe? Your own ears, or spineless Sen. Marco Rubio who wants us to pretend we all didn't hear exactly what Trump said when he threatened encourage Putin to attack our NATO allies if they didn't pay up.
Rubio knows full well what Trump would do if he were not constrained, or he wouldn't have worked to pass legislation that would bar the the president from unilaterally withdrawing from NATO, which passed back in December.
Rubio made an appearance on CNN's State of the Union this Sunday and was asked about Trump's dangerous rhetoric. Host Jake Tapper brought up the fact that they passed the legislation, which everyone knows was aimed at Trump, but gave Rubio a pass with no follow up when Rubio pretended what we heard from Trump was nothing new and tried to both sides it with other presidents being frustrated with our NATO allies.

TAPPER: I know the NATO alliance is very important to you. You just pushed and got legislation to require the advice and consent of the Senate, or an act of Congress before any president can suspend, terminate or with withdraw US membership from NATO.
