BOONE, IOWA â Republican presidential candidate Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL)
79%
privately defended the National Security Agencyâs (NSA) spying on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, even as he publicly condemned the practice. Rubio and his ally Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC)
86%
discussed the matter privately in a room away from reporters early Wednesday morning at the Royal Amsterdam Hotel in Pella, Iowa. The two men talked before they set out on a three-stop Iowa campaign tour to showcase Gowdyâs endorsement of Rubio.
This reporter heard the conversation while picking up a laptop computer and other materials left in a back room, away from where reporters were eating breakfast. Rubio, Gowdy, a couple of campaign staffers, and a Secret Service agent were the only ones present in the back room.
The Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday that the NSA monitored Netanyahuâs conversations, including conversations with U.S. legislators
âWe spy on everyone,â Rubio told Gowdy, defending the practice of spying on a U.S. ally. âThatâs the nature of intelligence.â
âItâs more complicated than the [WSJ] story makes it seem,â Rubio added.
Gowdy responded that people are upset because the U.S. decided to stop spying on leaders of Germany and some other nations, but still spies on Israel.
But Rubio sang a different tune around the same time Wednesday morning on the Fox News program âFox and Friends.â

DUH!!!...Why do you think Tough guy Gowdy has hooked up with Rubio????...Hes compromised...Prolly something silly...but he realizes if he doesn't play the “GAME”...his next job is Dog Catcher....(you Don't get pampered as dog catcher)...
Rubio is REALLY a nasty, snarky, low life POS !
So now he’s Chuckle’s puppet, pro-amnesty, pro0-ILKLEGALS all the time, and anti-Israel and anti-Bibi !
LOL....and the amulet is dime sized :)
SPOT ON.
NO FR mail from you.
This what Cruz was pointing out in the debate. You cannot spy on everyone to catch the guilty. It is too Orwellian. I gues Screwbio is okay with Orwell.
Yes, and to think that Gowdy just endorsed him ... LOL.
What a fool!
WHY
The damned RINOS are all outing themselves.
Trump must work to CLEAN OUT THE DAMNED SWAMP !
Absolutely. I think most of congress is owed. Hillary and her 900 files from filegate are pathetic amateur hour compared to today.
If Sheldon ever thought we weren’t spying on Netanyahu then he’s too naive to be so rich.
Our government spies on all leaders of all nations like Merkel as I believe was revealed by Snowden.
It comes as no surprise that Netanyahu was being spied on......
Gowdy has finally come out....of the RINO closet.
is that one of your puppies
OMG.....look at adorable Louie in his Trump outfit!!
Even Louie stumps for Trump :)
Go Trump! Go Louie!!
Rubio and Gowdy are thick as thieves.
Both should resign immediately.
Worse, they have been providing the content to the White House.
