Secretary of State Marco Rubio just keeps disappointing his former Senate colleagues.
“I miss the old Marco Rubio,” Sen. Brian Schatz, a Hawaii Democrat and member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, told NOTUS on Thursday.
Rubio won unanimous support to join Donald Trump’s cabinet in January, but it’s been anything but smooth sailing for Democrats who openly celebrated his nomination since then. The latest blow to Democrats’ opinions of Rubio came this week, when he ordered diplomats not to comment on whether other countries’ elections were free or fair, and to avoid publicly weighing in on the state of democracy in other countries.
