In Defense of Trump, Rubio Claims Only Third World Countries Convict Their Leaders. He's Wrong. [View all]

If facts are important, Marco Rubio could stand to learn a few. His recent claim that “only in the Third World” are high-level politicians tried and convicted of crimes is easily debunked.

In an interview Wednesday, Rubio espoused his unyielding support for twice-impeached ex-President Donald Trump.

“The first chance I get to end this trial, I’ll vote for it,” Rubio said in reference to Trump’s presumably upcoming trial in the U.S. Senate. The House of Representatives previously impeached — or accused — Trump of inciting the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol Complex on Jan. 6.

Rubio mounted this defense in support of a person who used to berate him by calling him “Little Marco.” But his endorsement of the ex-president went factually off the rails.

Guess little Marco like the taste of Trump's dingleberries.
