Sen. Rubio, Rep. Diaz-Balart visit Venezuela-Colombia border
NY Post ^ | 2/17/19 | Mark Moore

Sen. Marco Rubio and Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart arrived in Colombia on Sunday to visit the Venezuelan border to make sure humanitarian aid gets to people fleeing economic and political unrest in the crisis-worn country.

“American, Colombian and Venezuelan officials stand ready to provide much needed humanitarian assistance to the people of Venezuela,” Rubio said, according to Florida Politics.

“The narcoterrorist tyranny of Nicolas Maduro continues to block critical humanitarian relief for those who continue to suffer under his regime,” the Florida Republican said, adding that the US stands by the Venezuelan people in their fight for “democracy and freedom.”

A US aid shipment arrived on Saturday containing 140 tons of high-energy food products, as well as soap, toothpaste and other goods for 25,000 people.

Marco Rubio will fight Trump and Americans on the border wall,
but he will fight for Venezuelans getting energy drinks. Is this conservative?

One of these days I’ll understand why our elected representatives need fact-finding missions outside of their own country.

How about fact-finding missions to the southern border?

How about fact-finding missions to the inner-city?

Southern tip of Florida?

Fly-over country?

L.A.?

No?

That trip would have bought a h3ll of a lot of tins of sardines, 6 of which apparently cost 1 month’s pension, per the guy caring for and trying to save cats in Venezuela.

“Sen. Marco Rubio and Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart arrived in Colombia on Sunday to visit the Venezuelan border to make sure humanitarian aid gets to people fleeing economic and political unrest in the crisis-worn country”

i wonder if that means little marco is gonna personally shove the shipping containers out of the way that are blocking the main river bridge crossing from Columbia?

I have been following Venezuelan tweets for over a year now and Marky has been taking advantage of every positive American action as though it was his own idea. Hey Rubio, if we give them support it is because of our President and when we give them aid of any kind it is from the American taxpayer. Ambulance chaser!

He was licking up that bar of soap in the shower...

Marco figures he can get some anal sex down there with hardly a chance of getting caught.

Rubio

Waste of time...

I do care about the Venezuelan people and the impact on the region.

This guy is such a lightweight though.

I've seen that infamous photo. It's impossible to make out who the person is in that photo yet some are positive it is Marco Rubio. Who knows?
