Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation,” Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) commented on the multiple news stories over the Russia probes and firing of FBI Director James Comey, which Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) called “drama.”
“People got what they voted for,” Rubio said.
Partial transcript as follows:
DICKERSON: The Republican leader said he’d like less drama from the White House. Do you share that view?
RUBIO: I don’t know why people are shocked. This president ran an unconventional campaign and that’s what the American people voted for. In essence, this White House is not much different from the campaign. People got what they voted for. It’s in the best interest of the country to try to help him succeed. As far as the drama’s concerned, it’s unique and different from anything we’ve confront. Our job remains to do our work. We’ll have to deal with these issues and the questions come up every day. I think the White House would benefit from some systems in place that perhaps avoids some unnecessary friction points but this is also a political environment. politics are covered this way and politicians behave in this way to get attention. It’s the way politics has moved. it’s not good for the country but that’s where we’re headed.
