WELKER: Mr. Secretary, are you running Venezuela right now?
MARCO RUBIO: Yeah. People are fixating on that. Here's the bottom line -- we expect to see changes in Venezuela

$2 trillion on the Iraq War (and all the lives lost). Think of the world we could be living in now if we’d invested that in housing, light rail, high speed transit, etc. Are we incapable of learning anything‽

Instead of whatever this is, we should have a government getting lots of new homes and apartments built, lots of clean energy built, lots of high speed rail and transit and bike lanes built, human rights for everyone, economic & healthcare opportunities for all, & innovation that leads the world.

This is not the first time this regime has tweeted out that 100 million figure. Their racist ideology is not subtle and they have already built concentration camps.

It’s white nationalism pure and simple. They’re fascists, and there’s no reason to doubt it.
