Since there is no organization called antifa, doesnt that mean that Marco should be put in a straight jacket and hospitalized, is it acceptable in a nation of 300 million people, that the secretary of state act and sound delusional.
Marco Rubio has just sunk another notch down the toilet drain. That oughta do it for any presidential runs. WTF, is he forgetting the majority of us in his little delusional kingdom? Glad to know he’s labelled himself a fascist by declaring anti fascism a problem.
