'Punk the hell out of him': Rubio ridiculed by ex-GOP official over Trump humiliation

Raw Story  

Newly confirmed Secretary of State Marco Rubio became a topic of discussion on MSNBC on Saturday morning with former RNC chair Michael Steele suggesting Donald Trump picked him for the key Cabinet post for a reason. "It kind of draws me to a point as an example, Marco Rubio at the State Department," Steele told his guest. I've known Marco a long, long time, and this is a guy who always, particularly in the Senate, fought very openly about the democracy piece and how important it was for the U.S. to use its soft power through agencies like USAID, for the U.S. to be on the front lines of confronting the aggression of our enemies like China economically and Russia militarily." Pointing to a New York Times article about "enacting policies aimed at pressuring China to relent on its forced labor of Uyghur Muslims," Steele reported, "Secretary of State Marco Rubio has long been a champion of policies that advance human rights and promote democratic practices."
