Secretary of State Marco Rubio chose to pretend he didn’t know enough about Trump’s pardon of convicted drug trafficker Honduras Ex-President Juan Orlando Hernandez in order to avoid making Trump look feeble.
During an interview with ABC’s This Week, George Stephanopoulos asked the Sec of State to explain Trump’s hypocrisy.
ABC played a clip of Trump demeaning the US jury system and whined that Biden was unfair to a monstrous drug trafficker.
“I studied it very quickly, and then I studied it in great detail,” Trump said. “I went to a lot of the people standing behind me, and they felt that that man was persecuted and treated very badly. That’s why I gave him a pardon.”
Here is Rubio playing dodgeball with the facts and behaving like Jebus Johnson, with his ‘I know nothing’ responses.
HOST: Hernandez was convicted by a jury.
RUBIO: I understand. You’re asking me.
The pardon authority is something that, you know, I’m not involved in in my role. I’m not criticizing it.
I can’t just comment on it because I just wasn’t involved in those deliberations.
HOST: Do you support it?
RUBIO: I wasn’t involved in those deliberations. I haven’t looked at the case file.
I haven’t looked at the arguments made by, you know, I’ve got a bunch of other things going on that are within my purview as Secretary of State and National Security Advisor, but pardons aren’t one of them.
