Rubio whines Dems won't like his answers at Iran presser: 'They're going to criticize!'
Secretary of State Marco Rubio pre-emptively complained about the fact that congressional Democrats probably won't like the answers he's giving, during a press conference on the Trump administration's attack against Iran on Tuesday afternoon.
"Listen, let me explain to you guys this in simple English, okay?" said Rubio. "Iran is run by lunatics, religious fanatic lunatics. They have an ambition to have nuclear weapons. They intend to develop those nuclear weapons behind a program of missiles and drones and terrorism, that the world will not be able to touch them for fear of those things. And this is the weakest they've ever been. Now is the time to go after them."
After a few more moments, Rubio opened the floor to questions.
One reporter began to ask, "Several Democrats criticized what you said and argue that—"
"The question is several Democrats criticized," Rubio cut him off. "They're going to criticize. We've been doing this for years, guys. They come out. I'll tell you right now, they're going to come out after the briefing and say, 'we didn't hear anything. We have more questions than answers.' You mark my words, but we still do these briefings."
All of this comes as the Trump administration faces accusations of not providing a consistent or honest explanation for why the Iran invasion is taking place.
