The Hill reports:
Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) on Sunday stopped short of criticizing and rejecting a suggestion by Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) in which the South Carolina Republican called for “somebody in Russia” to take out Russian President Vladimir Putin.
“People are watching these images, alright, they’re seeing what’s happening there, and people being murdered and suffering, and it makes you angry, and you want something to happen. And you reach the conclusion, ‘oh wouldn’t it be great if someone internally just took this guy and eliminated it?’” Rubio said.
“That’s not the official policy, obviously, of the United States, no one’s talking about the U.S. doing it,” he later added.
