Reporter: “You counterpart at the Department of War, Pete Hegseth, just defended himself against the Articles of Impeachment. I wonder if you can confidently say that Secretary Hegseths’ actions and orders on the Iran war, on drug boat strikes, on the capture of Maduro, on actions against Yemen have been entirely lawful.” Secretary of State Marco Rubio: “Yeah, the President of the United States is the Commander-in-Chief, and he has a right to defend this country and to address imminent threats that pose a threat to the United States, and he's done so. I don't know how anyone could argue that drug dealers trying to import poison into our country is not an imminent threat. It's a real and imminent threat, and it's been addressed. We've discussed Iran extensively and the threat they pose to the United States, not in the last year, since 1979, a threat that's grown.” “In the case of Nicolas Maduro, that was, in many cases, a law enforcement operation because he was a fugitive of American justice who was captured and brought to justice. And, by the way, had the ancillary impact of also opening and paving the path for Venezuela to have a better future. So, as I said, on all those things, not only did Pete execute on a direct order from the Commander-in-Chief, when our Constitution is empowered and trusted with the job of keeping Americans safe, but they did it quite effectively on all those fronts.” What a STUPID question. It would be UNLAWFUL for Secretary Hegseth NOT to CARRY out the LAWFUL orders handed down by the President of the United States.
