Florida Republican Sen. Marco Rubio shredded the media straight to the face of one anchor after he became exhausted with watching her, and others, manipulate the words of former President Donald Trump.
“Well, in terms of safety and security, that sound bite a moment ago from Donald Trump talking about training guns on the face of Liz Cheney, the Trump campaign,” CBS “Face The Nation…” anchor Margaret Brennan said before the senator stopped her in her tracks.
“That’s not what he said,” he said as anchor continued.
“… says that was about foreign policy. Well, we just played it for our viewers and listeners who heard it. Isn’t it possible to make the case without using rhetoric like that?” she said.
“But Donald Trump doesn’t talk like someone who’s been in Washington for 30 years,” the senator explained.
“Training guns on her face?” the anchor said, as if she did not get what the former president was saying.
“No, but that’s not what he said. Margaret, you guys know that. Come on, everybody knows exactly what he was saying. What he was saying is …,” he said before she interrupted him.
“We played the soundbite,” she said.
Continuing, Rubio noted, “… you’re so much in favor of war. No, you played a piece of the sound bite because in another piece of it, he said he would give her a gun to go stand in conflict as well. You don’t normally give a gun to someone that is going to be facing a firing squad, which is what much of the media made it sound like,” he said.
“The point he was making is not a new point. It is a point that has been made by people in both parties for decades, and that is, you’re all for war, and it’s easy to be for war when you’re in some fancy building and you’re safe and sound in Washington, DC. Let’s see how much you are for war when you yourself get deployed into combat. That’s the point that he was making,” the senator said.
“That he uses language that maybe is not what we typically hear from someone that works at a think tank, fine. But I think it’s truly, not just unfair, it’s egregious to see that reported the way that it was, along with other things that are out there. I’ve never seen such a concerted effort- and look, I’ve always believed there’s bias, because no one’s unbiased, but I’ve never seen such a concerted effort like what I’ve seen, especially in the last two weeks, among multiple media outlets in this country to, in some cases, breathlessly distort and lie about what’s being said, and to create and manufacture these gotcha moments against Donald Trump. I’ve never seen it before. It’s over the top,” Rubio added.
