Cucuta, Colombia -- U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio visited a border staging point for U.S. aid to Venezuela on Sunday and warned soldiers loyal to socialist President Nicolas Maduro that it will be a "crime against humanity" if they block entry of the goods that are being channeled through Maduro's rivals.
An enthusiastic throng of Venezuelan migrants, some chanting "Rubio! Liberty," met the Florida Republican as he visited Cucuta and held a news conference in sight of a border bridge that has been flooded in recent months by people fleeing the hardships of Venezuela's hyperinflation and severe shortages of food and medicine.
The U.S. has used military and civilian aircraft to fly in food and personal care aid in an effort meant to undermine Maduro and dramatize his government's inability to overcome shortages of food and medicine. The aid is supposed to be moved into Venezuela on Feb. 23 by supporters of congressional leader Juan Guaido, who is recognized by the U.S. and dozens of other countries as Venezuela's legitimate president.

Rubio really is turning into George Bush Jr. — foreign policy / military adventurism abroad and Liberalism-lite at home.

Rubio should have been terminated by Florida voters in 2016 for his amnesty betrayal.

Bet Maduro is quaking in his boots.
Unlike Marco, who is standing in elevated boots.

U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio visited a border staging point for U.S. aid to Venezuela on Sunday...
And later that evening he met with the Cartel Leaders in Colombia to assure them the Wall not be built and the free flow of drugs through Mexico will continue un-abated, how much coke did he bring back to shore up his credibility with the Leadership of Both Parties???

How about our border, Jerko? Rubio has vowed to 'fight' against Trump's 'unconstitutional' border wall.

RUBIO, how about warning MEXICO to stop allowing illegal drugs, crime, sex traffickers, and immigrants to cross the U.S. BORDER.

Politicians have always raced to cross rivers and jump fences to get in front of a camera. Images for a future election. A election that will have thousands of refugees imported from there.

Well said! And why are we spending hard-earned tax payer money on food that will be blocked and siphoned off by corrupt officials?
