Marco Rubio has been on every network this morning to praise Trump’s strike on Syria. From the Washington Examiner:
Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., said Friday that President Trump had the legal authority to launch a missile attack at a Syrian airfield Thursday night, because it was a limited attack that fell short of a full declaration of war. “The president was authorized to conduct this strike,” Rubio said on ABC News. “He not asking for a declaration of war, he’s not committing ground troops over an extended period of time.”
“He was dealing with exigent circumstances, and as the commander in chief, not only does he have the right, he has an obligation to act,” Rubio said. “Obviously, if this is going to be a broader, long-term conflict, it is important that he comes to Congress because we need to pay for it, it needs to be funded on top of everything else,” he added. “And I believe that’s exactly what they will do.”

In 2013, Rubio opposed Obama’s plan to attack Syria because it was a “pinprick”
Today, Trump basically pinpricks Syria & Rubio backs it 1/2— Marc Caputo (@MarcACaputo) April 7, 2017
Maybe Rubio knows more about a longer-term plan, but right now he doesn’t appear consistent on military action in Syria 2/2
