Rubio also stated, “If I want to be back in the U.S Senate, I have to earn that every six years.”
During the interview with Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), Chris Wallace pushed for Sen. Rubio’s thoughts on the impeachment trial.
The Florida Senator replied, “I think the trial is stupid. I think it’s counterproductive. We already have a flaming fire in this country and it’s like taking a bunch of gasoline and pouring it on top of the fire.”
“I think this is going to be really bad for the country,” he continued. “It’s going to take us — not just– it is going to keep us from focusing on really important things, but it’s also just going to stir it up even more and make it even harder to get things done moving forward.”
Rubio stated, “In terms of the rules, I think the president is entitled to due process. I think he’s entitled to have a defense. I think he’s entitled to present, you know, testimony and evidence if necessary.”
Also during his interview Sunday, Rubio weighed in on the impending Senate impeachment trial against Donald Trump, claiming it could turn the president into a ‘martyr’ for his supporters. This sympathy could potentially give Ivanka an edge.
