Marco Rubio actually said...

"the kind of Secretary of Labor I expect Alex will be, will be a champion for working men and women."

"I am confident that Alex Acosta will serve this Nation admirably, and I am proud to introduce him to the committee today."

"this is one of the first times, if not the only time, that this committee has had three Cuban Americans seated before it."

"I wholeheartedly encourage the committee and the full Senate to support his nomination to be our next Secretary of Labor."
