Far-left Rep. Madeleine Dean (D-PA) tried to badger Secretary of State Marco Rubio with loaded questions and Hamas talking points during a House hearing, but Chairman Representative Brian Mast (R-FL) wasn’t having it when she demanded extra time after repeatedly interrupting the Secretary and refusing to let him answer.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio returned to Capitol Hill on Wednesday morning to testify before the House Foreign Affairs Committee, where lawmakers question him on President Trump’s Fiscal Year 2027 budget request for the State Department.
Dean started by claiming Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) was “new and untested,” relied on “private subcontractors,” and that “hundreds of Palestinians, including women and children, were killed just trying to get to those sites.”
She then demanded Rubio tell the world “how many people were killed simply trying to access those sites?”
“Well, since Hamas killed them, you should ask what Hamas is doing about it,” Rubio fired back.
Dean immediately interrupted: “IDF soldiers shot some of them.”
Rubio continued: “Let me tell you the reason why food wasn’t going in there is because the trucks were being hijacked by Hamas.”
Dean cut him off again: “I reclaim my time. Because propaganda ain’t going to work with me.”
Rubio:“Well, it isn’t going to work with me either. And what you’re saying is propaganda.”
Dean then tried to pivot to the $30 million the State Department approved for GHF, claiming other “well-tested agencies” could have handled distribution.
