Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) insisted on Sunday that Donald Trump would not try to prosecute his political opponents if he wins the election—despite Trump promising to do just that.
Rubio complained on State of the Union that Trump’s criminal cases—one of which he was recently convicted for by a jury of his peers—were part of a political persecution orchestrated by Joe Biden and Democrats. He tried to claim that Trump’s sole “vengence” would be to restore the U.S. to Trumpian times, ignoring Trump’s past remarks to the contrary.
“He was president for four years,” Rubio said. “He didn’t go after Hillary Clinton, he didn’t go after Joe Biden, he didn’t go after Barack Obama, he didn’t go after any of their consultants.”
