Marco Rubio suggests Tillersons comments may have emboldened Assad to use chemical weapons

[spanone]

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) suggested the chemical weapons attack on Syrian civilians could be linked to Secretary of State Rex Tillerson’s comments indicating support for that country’s embattled leader, President Bashar al-Assad.

Tillerson said last week during a joint news conference with the Turkish foreign minister that Assad’s “longer-term status” would be decided by the Syrian people” — which many human rights activists interpreted to mean the U.S. would allow him to remain in power.

“I don’t think it’s a coincidence that a few days later we see this,” Rubio said Wednesday morning, referring to this week’s chemical weapons attack.

That attack, which activists and eyewitnesses have blamed on Assad’s government, killed at least 70 civilians — including a number of children.
