although it seems As a result of a notable Democratic effort, it was Donald Trump’s campaign team that has prepared the most exhaustive and dirty dossier on Marco Rubio, the hawk better known as a political climber than a legislator, someone whose opinions have changed to adapt to changes within his party
according to the record.
The American journalist Ken Klippenstein has leaked (https://acortar.link/DGXuhf) the 551-page document that assesses the vulnerabilities of the Florida senator, initially on the list of vice president candidates of the Republican administration. Finally, JD Vance was chosen by Trump as his running mate and left Rubio the position of future Secretary of State.
Among the key points of the dossier are the ideological inconsistencies of Rubio, who has modified his positions on issues such as immigration, trade and foreign policy, which is clear sign of political opportunism
according to the report. Part of these swings have to do with his oscillating relationship with Trump, whom he criticized during the 2016 primaries, and then supported him in 2020 and 2024, while along the way he condemned the attack on the Capitol on January 6, 2021. A crazy MAGA people
as Rubio once called Trump’s most enthusiastic followers, was not very amused by the senator’s designation as Secretary of State and, when the news was leaked, they made their anger known on social networks by airing the hashtag #NotRubio.
The dossier mentions ethical and financial issues ranging from investigations into the use of Florida Republican Party credit cards for personal expenses and mortgage loans obtained under questionable conditions, to relationships with a convicted drug trafficker, none other than his brother-in-law. Orlando Cicilia, married to Rubio’s sister, Barbara, who was arrested in 1987 for running a $75 million cocaine smuggling ring from his home in West Kendall, Florida, where Rubio lived as a teenager. Washington Postthe dossier recalls, classified Cicilia as the protagonist of “one of the most important drug cases of the baroque era of the cowboys of cocaine in Miami.”
In the area of lies he has not fared better. He once told the story of his parents as Cuban exiles who fled the island after the 1959 revolution, a legend that resonated very well among his electorate in Miami, but, as he revealed, Washington Post in 2011, it was a version embellished
. They neither left Cuba on that date – they did so three years earlier – nor did politics motivate the family’s decision to start a new life in the United States where their children would be born, among them Marco Rubio in 1971.
But Marco does not lie just to embellish his past, but he makes it an instrument of intense amorality. The first news about the fictitious sonic attacks on US diplomatic personnel on the island emerged in August 2017 through tips to the press. At that time, the source of these leaks was not publicly identified, but Rubio intensified his statements on the matter, knowing that they were lies, which led observers to hold him responsible for the disclosure of this fallacy that justified the closure of the US embassy in Havana and the imposition of more sanctions against Cuba.
As for his benefactor façade Latin
is famous for using immigrant rights in his talking points
while vociferating for the immediate cancellation of a program that protects tens of thousands of undocumented children and youth in the United States.
The dossier states that when he was running for the US presidency in 2015, Rubio expressed his support for a legislative solution
to the problem of calls dreamers (dreamers), knowing that there were no votes in Congress to support regulations that would benefit young immigrants who arrived in the country as children, brought by their parents without legal authorization. Meanwhile, he fiercely opposed the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, promoted by the Obama administration, arguing that the president did not have the power to protect these children with an order. executive. If they had canceled the program, thousands of minors would have been deported.
There is a lot of information in this dossier that proves with reliable sources and a Republican prism the abuse, distortion, perversion of the law, abuse, blatant manipulation and the terrible practices of the next Secretary of State. As aside data, it appears that he supported the war in Iraq and Libya, the war against Yemen and the coups d’état in Latin America, and that he has an unhealthy obsession with the land where his parents were born. Peccadillo for the Trumpists who, however, view with reservations, judging by this dossier, the chameleonic personality and narcopast of the hawk who will have the task of whispering to Trump about the empire’s foreign policy.
