Consider the scenario of giving false testimony under oath to shield your superior’s pride. This is precisely what Secretary of State Marco Rubio did on Wednesday, as he denied acknowledging the evident situation while testifying before Congress.
Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA) stated, “ You have been at multiple meetings with President Trump. In a moment, I’m gonna show you a video of one of these meetings. It is from last December. It’s a cabinet meeting. I’m gonna ask you to focus on President Trump, and you will see that he is sleeping while you are talking.”

Rubio replied, “Oh my God. Are you- “
Lieu continued, “Please show the video.”
Video of Rubio speaking, “Products they make and, and what American farmers grow and produce has a fair shot to be sold around the world. On i- issue after issue, that’s been the case. You talk about foreign aid reforms. This is not our money. This is taxpayer money. “
Trump: ZZZZ.
Lieu inquired, “Secretary Rubio-have you been at more than one meeting where President Trump has fallen asleep?”
At this juncture, Marco Rubio faced a decision between maintaining his remaining credibility and defending Donald Trump.
The choice Rubio made seems quite apparent.
Rubio proceeded to deliver a remarkably poor defense of Trump.
