Rubio and Karl Lock Horns Over Trump's VP Invitation: Interview Turns Contentious

Glenn Gilmour, 3/24/2024Rubio unleashed the fury of conservative truth, eviscerating the liberal media hack Karl for questioning Trump's greatness. Despite the left's hysteria over Jan 6th, Rubio boldly defended the prosperous Trump years, lambasting Biden's disastrous weakness that has endangered America. This is the passionate advocacy we need to own the libs and save our nation!

The catalyst for the clash emerged when Karl probed Rubio's stance on the reports suggesting he's being considered for Trump's vice-presidential slot. "I don't put a lot of stock in this reporting right now," Karl stated skeptically, "but you said it would be an honor to be offered a spot on this ticket -- really?!"

Rubio's response was unwavering: "Yeah. I think anyone who's offered the opportunity to serve this country as vice president should be honored by the opportunity to do it -- if you're in public service." He swiftly parried Karl's incredulity, asserting, "I'm in the Senate because I want to serve the country. Being vice president is an important way to serve the country."

However, Karl remained resolute in his disbelief, invoking the harrowing events of January 6th, when a mob stormed the Capitol, chanting "Hang Mike Pence." With palpable astonishment, he questioned Rubio's willingness to associate with Trump, remarking, "I mean, look what happened to the last guy...Trump defended those chants of 'Hang Mike Pence.'"

Undeterred, Rubio unleashed a torrent of praise for Trump's presidency, asserting, "When Donald Trump was president of the United States, this country was safer; it was more prosperous; we had relations, for example, in a part of the world that I care about called the Western Hemisphere that were very strong." He then pivoted to a scathing critique of the Biden administration, declaring, "Since the time Joe Biden took over, Afghanistan's gone down, Ukraine has been invaded...We wake up every single day -- terrorist attacks and nine million people across the border. That's what matters to me."

Karl's disbelief intensified as Rubio firmly attributed the global crises to Biden's leadership, prompting an incredulous exchange:

KARL: "But, I mean, you're not suggesting that's all happening because of Biden? I mean, look --"

RUBIO: "Absolutely I am -- absolutely I'm suggesting it's happening because of Biden. He's president, and his weakness and his --"

KARL: "It's because of Biden that Russia invaded Ukraine?"

RUBIO: "Absolutely."
