As the country’s chief diplomat, Secretary of State Marco Rubio has plenty of practice dealing with hostile parties.
Wrangling with Chinese communists isn’t easy. Going toe-to-toe with the murderous mullahs of Iran during “peace” talks in Pakistan has to be trying.
But when it comes to pure, grandstanding venom, a California Democrat on Wednesday might have outpaced them all.
During a hearing of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove — who represents the overwhelmingly Democratic37th Congressional Districtin Los Angeles County — launched a blistering salvo of questions while literally leaving no time for Rubio to respond.

Kimlager-Dove’s questioning focused on oil contracts in Venezuela after theU.S. military removedformer Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, according toFox News. Early, in one of the rare moments he got to speak at all, Rubio attempted to correct the lawmaker:
“This goes right to the point of transparency,” he said. “You’re absolutely wrong about the way the money flows. It’s pretty straightforward, and I’ll share it …”
He was immediately cut off as Kamlager-Dove declared, “I’m gonna have to reclaim my time again …”
After more back-and-forth as Rubio attempted to get a word in edgewise, exasperation started showing in the normally unflappable Republican.
