HILARIOUS! Rubio to George Stephanopoulos: Maybe You Need to Write It Down
PJ Media ^ | 30 Mar 2026 | Sarah Anderson

Posted on 03/30/2026 8:07:12 PM PDT by Rummyfan

I'm working on a million other stories right now, but I had to stop and bring you this because any time I can showcase Secretary of State Marco Rubio making George Stephanopoulos look like a buffoon, I will. It's must-see TV.

Rubio appeared on Good Morning America on Monday morning to talk Iran, and while he didn't necessarily say anything new, before he could say much at all, Stephanopoulos was peppering him with ridiculous questions and repeating the MSM narrative that there are no defined objectives for Operation Epic Fury.

To be completely honest, professionally, I am more focused on Cuba, Venezuela, and the rest of the Western Hemisphere —Iran exists there in my periphery, and I've barely covered it — and yet, I can recite the objectives word for word at this point. Rubio keeps saying them, and most of the media keeps acting selectively deaf.

After carrying on about oil for a while and Rubio responding with reality and laying out the objectives of the conflict, George switched gears to something Trump posted on Truth Social on Monday.

"As you’re speaking, though, the President is expanding the objectives," he said. "Just a couple minutes ago, he put out a post on Truth Social saying that we’re in discussions now with a new and more reasonable regime in Iran, but he also added that if those discussions don’t yield fruit, the United States will blow up and completely obliterate all of their electric-generating plants, all their oil wells, and Kharg Island, and possibly all desalinization plants, which we have purposely not yet touched – is what he said. That’s a great expansion of the objectives."

Amazing that the guy that Trump mocked as “little Marco”, has proven to be such a strong supporter of Trump, but also impressive as SOS.

That’s right George, write it down. Weakened memory is one of the earliest signs of dementia. Cope!

Some people grow in their jobs. Others don’t. I really like JD Vance and have been expecting to vote for him for president in ‘28, but he seems not to have grown in his job so far. On the other hand, although I’ve never been a big supporter of Marco Rubio, he has grown in his SecState job and is very impressive. Maybe with JD, it’s the nature of the vice presidency. We’ll see how he does heading the anti-fraud task force.

Absolutely. Marco Rubio has risen beyond expectations. It's his time to shine.

Every single terrorist group in this region has a link to the Iranian regime.

For decades, Iran funneled rockets, bombs, etc to Hezbollah in Lebanon through Syria. TODAY, Hezbollah is firing HUNDREDS OF ROCKETS into Northern Israel EVERY DAY.

EVERY DAY

Northern Israelis are either living underground in bomb shelters, or have moved South.

But since only Jews and other Israelis are being killed, Little Georgie is just fine with that. .

We hear about irritating ‘Karens’ all the time these days. I’m more concerned about irritating smarmy little bitches like Stephanopoulos.

Ha! It's the same with Levit. She routinely gets questions that (if they were intelligent ‘journailsts’) they'd know that the President addressed that very point yesterday or last week !!!

At the link to the article at PJ Media. It’s about half way down.

“This operation, okay, and that’s what this is. It’s about very specific objectives. The president laid them out on the first night of the operation,” Rubio said. “I’ll repeat them to you now because I hear a lot of talk about: we don’t know what the clear objectives are. Here they are. You should write them down.”

Trump is preventing Iran from pulling the same stunt North Korea did; bribe the world so they wouldn’t develop a nuclear weapon and be building a nuclear weapon the entire time. Obama, of course, fell right into Iran’s trap, giving them billions of dollars. Biden, well, he didn’t know what day it was.
