Marco Rubio appears to have undergone a 'total lobotomy': former Senate colleague

Raw Story  

A Democratic senator bashed former colleague Marco Rubio, who's now Donald Trump's secretary of state, for acting like he'd had portions of his brain removed. Sen. Chis Van Hollen, who served on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee with Rubio, lambasted the nation's top diplomat for defending Trump and vice president J.D. Van Hollen voted to confirm Rubio as secretary of state but says he's come to regret that decision. "I regret that vote because, you know, when it was Sen. Rubio, Sen. Rubio was somebody who understood that Putin was the aggressor and the Russians were the aggressor," Van Hollen said.
