I think that Pence gave them an opening, certainly to weaselly Rubio

By talking about Harris role in 2024 that she "should not have the power to declare the next president" he opened the door to Rubio.

From today's Face the Nation

SENATOR MARCO RUBIO: Well, if President Trump runs for re-election, I believe he would defeat Joe Biden, and I don't want Kamala Harris to have the power as vice president to overturn that election, and I don't- that's the same thing that I concluded back in January of 2021. You know, when that issue was raised, I looked at it, had analyzed it and came to the same conclusion that vice presidents can't simply decide not to certify an election.

MARGARET BRENNAN: So Donald Trump was wrong?

SEN. MARCO RUBIO: Well, as I said, I just don't think a vice president has that power because if the vice president has that power, Donald Trump would defeat Joe Biden in four years or two years, and then Kamala Harris can decide not- to overturn the election. I don't want to wind up there.

So... what did he say?


On edit: I just listened to the first few sentences and switched channel.

1. It sounds like he's saying the vice-president doesn't have the power if that person in a Democrat.

His statement is inherently ridiculous. But then, it's Marco Rubio we're talking about here, so what else in new.

8. Bingo

[Irish_Dem]

2. Interesting how they drag Kamala into their own crimes.

Typical of sociopaths.

[ificandream]

4. A (certainly) calculated anti-black, anti-woman meme. And at the same time.

These guys have their bullshit all packaged and ready to go, don't they?

[Irish_Dem]

6. Exactly. Oh yes, they have their talking points all lined up ahead of time.

All professionalyl written, staged and implemented.

KGB style.

[Ocelot II]

3. In his usual weaselly way he's trying to say what Pence said, but

without having to utter the specific words Trump was wrong, because no GOPer currently in office dares to say that lest TFG cause them to be primaried.

5. "Kamala won't be able to overturn Trump's election in '24" is the GOP's latest talking point.

[11 Bravo]

7. Little Marco would cut out his own tongue rather than utter these three simple words:

"Trump was wrong."

He will hint at it. He will imply it. He will dance around it.

But there is no fucking way he will ever actually SAY it.

Gutless little prick.

[Emile]

9. I caught that interview and Rubio didn't make a bit of sense!

He was showing signs of severe mental illness that was brought on by too much Trump ass kissing!

[maxsolomon]

10. Never answer when you can evade.

Always shift blame.

[Walleye]

11. That was gobbledygook

Question, did Trump lose the election? Question, did Trump think he could overturn it even though he lost? Come on people ask him these questions

[question everything]

12. And, I suppose, we will be hearing a lot more of that kind

[Walleye]

13. He was making it up as he went along and he was not listening to himself

Just loves the sound of his own voice

[spanone]

14. more fucking gaslighting ...

they are experts at it

[GoodRaisin]

15. Fast Marco

Now you hear it, now you don't.
