Team America: Sen. Marco Rubio gets officially nominated as Secretary of State

7

Florida Sen. Marco Rubio got the official nomination from Donald Trump on Wednesday as the next U.S. Secretary of State. His nomination had been leaked out a few days ago, but it was not official until today.

“He will be a strong Advocate for our Nation, a true friend to our Allies, and a fearless Warrior who will never back down to our adversaries. I look forward to working with Marco to Make America, and the World, Safe and Great Again!” Trump wrote.

Rubio, who ran against Trump in 2016, was born in Miami in 1971, the son of Cuban immigrants. His father worked as a banquet bartender, and his mother was a hotel maid.

“From an early age, Rubio learned the importance of faith, family, community, and dignified work to the good life,” Trump’s announcement said. “Rubio was drawn to public service in large part because of conversations with his grandfather, who saw his homeland destroyed by communism. After meeting and marrying his wife Jeanette—and earning degrees from the University of Florida and the University of Miami Law School—Rubio served as a city commissioner in West Miami and Speaker of the Florida House of Representatives. In 2010, he won a seat in the U.S. Senate.”

Although he must be confirmed by the Senate, that should be a fairly easy process, as Rubio is well-respected among his peers.

He is a decade younger than current Secretary of State Antony Blinken, whose political alliances go back to the Clinton Administration, when he served in senior positions at the State Department.

    • For the agenda the American people voted Trump into office for, it was critical to remove Marco from the senate, as he sits on the Senate Select Commitee on Intelligence.

      The Intelligence Complex is the extrajudicial controlling 4th Branch of government. It is in complete control.
      The SSCI theoretically monitors and regulates, but they are 100% corrupt and Rubio is one of the worst.

      Removing Rubio does not lessen the 53/47 split, as his senate seat will be replaced by another Republican. Even if the replacement senator turns out as bad as DeSantis or Rubio, he’ll have no seniority.

      Moved to Secretary of State, Trump can then fire him, neutralizing one of the worst threats against his agenda and ability to avoid impeachment.

      Reigning in the IC is the highest priority to restoring a Republic.

  2. Boy, oh boy, the 100 million bucks that Miriam Adelson’s PAC donated to the Trump campaign is paying off in spades judging by his cabinet picks! Little Marco Rubio has been a consistent, war mongering, interventionist neocon his entire political career. He makes Hillary Clinton look sane.

    • He should start a nonprofit foundation as a side gig. And buy likes for the Dept. of State Facebook page. And see how many embassies he can get burned. And Ambassadors and CIA contactors killed.
