What does little Marco Rubio do with the Newsweek Trump Cuba Embargo story?

This is a big deal. The one non-negotiable with older Miami Cubans has been the embargo. And Trump lied to them about his company observing the embargo. Methinks Marco has a problem.

And Trump lied to the Miami Cubans about what his company was doing in Cuba on an issue which was really important to them.

Marco Rubio 'Deeply Concerned' About Possible Donald Trump Cuba Business

Florida Sen. Marco Rubio said Donald Trump will have to “answer some questions” about a Newsweek story reporting that a Trump-owned company allegedly violated the United States' trade embargo with Cuba in the late 1990s.

“This is something they’re going to have to give a response to. I mean, it was a violation of American law, if that’s how it happened,” Rubio said on the ESPN/ABC “Capital Games” podcast.

The careers and lives of each of them are always, and only, about themselves.

How Florida voters would be stupid enough to vote for Rubio AGAIN, given his complete absence from the Senate, which was preceded by a similar approach to his state legislature positions, is completely beyond my understanding.

He expressed concern and said that the campaign needed to respond, something we all know won't happen. That's all he's going to say voluntarily. Florida Dems have to make this and Rubio's continued support of Trump an issue.
