Summary

Secretary of State Marco Rubio grew visibly frustrated during an ABC News interview when questioned about the Trump administration’s approach to Russia.

Defending Trump’s push for peace talks with Putin, Rubio insisted negotiations were necessary but admitted the administration didn’t know Russia’s demands.

He clashed with host George Stephanopoulos over Trump’s refusal to call Putin a dictator and the U.S. siding with Russia in a recent UN vote.

Rubio also compared Trump’s handling of Ukraine to Biden’s approach to Israel, further escalating tensions.

    Did you watch the video? He never had a melt down. He was frustrated but overall kept his cool and spouted the lies he was supposed to say.

      I saw a lot of hemming and hawing, stalling, spewing bullshit, and talking over Stephanopoulos.

      Not the behavior of someone “keeping his cool.”
