Nevada Sen. Jackie Rosen wanted a donor clip out of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing with Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Tuesday — the kind candidates use to solicit big money from campaign contributors.
She made one, all right, except it was actually forthe unflappable Rubio.
Just don’t tell that to the Very Online left, which thinks this was somehow a win for the Democratic senator.
Rosen, now on her second term in the upper chamber, was finishing her questioning of Rubio during the meeting by saying that she would “like to remind the American people that, as Secretary of State, your main duty as America’s chief diplomat is to maintain our relations with foreign nations.”
I think we all get that, even to the point where a high schooler would say as much in an essay. (“Merriam Webster defines ‘Secretary of State’ as…”) Where are we going with this? Apparently, she thinks that Rubio was partying during the recent U.S.-Iran negotiations in Pakistan.
“I was shocked to see that you were at a party with President Trump in Miami instead of accompanying Vice President Vance to Pakistan for negotiations,” she said, warming up for that sweet clip action.
It came. Not how she’d expected, of course. “What party was I at?” Rubio shot back. “I was at a party?”
Rosen’s answer was a long pause — the kind of pause that shows when politicians know they’ve stepped in it.
Then Rosen rallied with: “It’s publicly reported and there’s photos there.”
And herein lies the problem: He wasn’t partying with the president, he was at his side during a UFC match — keeping him abreast of what was going on.
