Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) said on CNN’s “State of the Union” the President Joe Biden not addressing the nation about the Chinese balloon was “the beginning of dereliction of duty.”
Host Jake Tapper said, “Your colleague and friend Republican Tim Scott of South Carolina accused President Biden of, quote, ‘dereliction of duty by allowing the Chinese spy balloon to fly across the U.S.’ That’s a pretty strong accusation. Do you agree with it?”
Rubio said, “Well, I think the dereliction of duty begins with this. Why not Tuesday or Wednesday — you know people are going to see it. At some point, you know you are going to have to disclose this, but they didn’t want to. They didn’t want to have their hand forced on canceling the Blinken’s visit, so they didn’t want to have to talk about it. Why didn’t the president go on television and basically explain what we’re dealing with here and why he’s made the decisions he’s making, and what they intend to do? Once they went public with it, knowing the amount of interest this was going to generate, presidents have the ability to go before a camera, go before the nation and basically explain these things early on. His failure to do so, I don’t understand that. I don’t understand why he wouldn’t do that. That is the beginning of dereliction of duty.”
He added, “The second is, you have to act swiftly on these things. I think that’s part of one of the things the Chinese are trying to message, and that is the U.S. had to see this coming and decided they couldn’t or wouldn’t do anything about it early on and had to wait until this thing went across the middle of the country...

Marco! Get your head out of your arse! He's been derelict for some time.
“...the beginning of dereliction of duty.”
The beginning? It was on the first day of taking office, January 29, 2021. And it has been a widening gulf ever since.
The Joe Stolen/”Que mala” Harris regime has NEVER adhered to lawful discharge of duties. What acts they have carried out have little or nothing to do with good governance.
The beginning?
Rubio, you pu55y!
Was Rubio in a COMA during Biden’s “successful” Afghanistan exit?
Yeah. “Beginning”??? For crying out loud. Rubio is nuts.
Beginning? Rubio, where have you been since January of 2021? That was closer to the beginning of his dereliction of duty.
Man, nothing gets by you Marco.
He‘s doubly derelict.
Question for Marco Rubio: Since you are part of the Gang of Eight that receives constant intel briefings, when were you told about the technology breakthrough that afforded detection of past Chinese spy balloons, and that there were several during the Trump administration (including balloons over you home state of Florida)? What was the date and who did the briefing?
If you know the claims are a lie and say nothing, you are just as guilty as the liars. If the claims are true, so be it.

I agree. Afghanistan. Open border...
LOL!!! Exactly what I’m thinking....the beginning?????
Next, Rubio is going to throw eggs at the White House, and TP the North Lawn.
Biden’s dereliction of duty began over 2 years ago, on the day he took office.
Gropin’ Joe the Pedo has been derelict in his duties since Jan 20, 2021.
Almost exactly what I was going to say; only I believe he has been derelict his whole life.
Nope; that’s way to extreme for POOL BOY, he’ll just sit in a corner and pout.
Beginning? Continuing.
Did you forget the Afghanistan debacle, Senator Rubio?
