Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Wednesday went off on Rep. Ted Lieu for accusing President Donald Trump of falling asleep in cabinet meetings, having a decline in cognitive abilities, and being missing for eight days as the Democrats try to distract the country from the doped-up puppet they installed in the White House.
“You have been at multiple meetings with President Trump. In a moment, I’m going to show you a video of one of these meetings. It is from last December. It’s a cabinet meeting. I’m going to ask you to focus on President Trump, and you will see that he is sleeping while you are talking.”
“Oh my God,” Rubio said, laughing before the clip played. He went on to describe Lieu’s line of questioning as “false” and “outrageous,” telling him, “Show me all the videos you want!”
“That’s false,” Rubio said of the accusation that Trump was asleep. “I’ve never seen him fall asleep. On the contrary, the guy doesn’t sleep,” he added joking that it’s a “big problem because he calls me at two in the morning, he calls me at five in the morning.”
Lieu accused Rubio of lying under oath, then proceeded to play another video from a cabinet meeting, where Trump appeared to have his eyes closed briefly, and again accused Trump of sleeping and Rubio of lying.
Lieu continued to play a clip of Trump allegedly sleeping at a Memorial Day ceremony and another where he makes contradictory statements about Iran’s military.
“So, Secretary Rubio, instead of holding North Korean-style cabinet meetings where everyone goes around the room kissing Donald Trump’s ass, I’m going to ask you to come clean with American people and the White House as well. There’s something wrong with Donald Trump’s health or cognitive abilities,” he declared. “There’s a reason he keeps going to the hospital and they keep giving him cognitive tests. We have not seen the President in eight days. The American people deserve the truth.”
It should be noted that Trump gave an hour-long interview to the New York Post yesterday and another to Fox just days prior. While the President has not done any public events recently amid the Iran war negotiations, Lieu’s assertion that Trump has not been seen in eight days is a flat-out lie.
As Rubio attempted to respond to the “absurd and ridiculous” accusations, telling the Congressman he can’t believe he’s being asked about the President sleeping in a Foreign Affairs Committee hearing, Lieu interrupted, saying, “Just keep lying, Secretary Rubio, just keep lying.”
“The truth of the matter is, we had a cognitively impaired president in office a few years ago,” Rubio fired back, noting again that the President doesn’t sleep.
