Rubio ignores China

So, Sen. Marco Rubio is the lead naysayer in regard to the White House’s shift in Cuba policy. He is concerned that “human rights are being overlooked.”

Can anyone say — China? Apparently, the senator either simply doesn’t care about the human-rights abuse there, on an even grander scale in a bigger Communist country, or it’s just not convenient for him and his agenda.

I will not give him a pass on this inconsistency; it is total hypocrisy.

I’ll be right in step with and support the senator as soon as he proposes the exact same travel and trade ban on China and Vietnam as he supports for Cuba.
