Marco Rubio 2.0 has struck again.As he was about to board Air Force One this week, Rubio was approached by a gaggle of journalists, and one of them started questioning him about what was happening with Cuba. He gave her a lesson on foreign policy, fake news, and communism.PJ Media has details:
Rubio to Fake News: ‘The Only Thing Worse Than a Communist Is an Incompetent Communist.’On Thursday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio addressed the press, both at Donald Trump’s Cabinet meeting and before boarding a plane to Paris for the G7 Foreign Affairs Ministerial. He had what many have called a “mic drop” moment because he didn’t hold back on his thoughts about how what we’re doing in Iran is a “favor to the world” and how other countries need to “step up.”…”Mr. Secretary, on Cuba, two questions. So for decades you have been a proponent of regime change, but now there seems to be a sense that perhaps President Trump would be happy with a win which would only entail an economic deal,” the reporter asked.Rubio responded, “You said there’s a sense. Where do you get that sense from?””Well, there is a lot of reporting that leads me to my second question,” she said.He let her have it, and he did so masterfully.
No, there’s a lot of fake…no, no, no, no, no. Any reporting on Cuba that you didn’t get from me or the President is a liar. Because we’re the only people working on it. Okay. I’m just warning you guys, all these sources that are pitching you on Cuba don’t know jack. Okay? They’re not in the mix. I promise you, they don’t know what the hell is happening.
The best part was this exchange:
“Do you still want regime change or would you be okay with an economic deal?” the reporter asked.Rubio responded with a mini lesson on communism (emphasis mine):
What do you mean an economic deal? Look, Cuba’s economy needs to change, and their economy can’t change unless their system of government changes. It’s that simple. Who’s going to invest billions of dollars in a communist country? Who’s going to invest billions of dollars in a communist country run by incompetent communists, which is even worse than communists. The only thing worse than a communist is an incompetent communist.

Marco Rubio is really at the top of his game. He is such a natural fit in this role.
