Marco Rubio actually said...

"we should somehow separate the political opening from the economic debate"

"Vladimir Putin is targeting democracy as an institution. Undermining democracy and of course United States is the most lucrative target for a KGB agent."

"We have now had two administrations who believed that somehow this is someone we could work with."

"There was still political resistance that we could see expressed, whether it was through rock bands, political parties, demonstrations."
