The Spin

Democratic narrative

This hearing saw Rubio continue to sidestep legitimate concerns from Democrats and offer little substantive defense of the administration's odious immigration policy, deference to Russia, and wholesale tarnishing of America's global standing. Rubio's transformation from a mainline Republican to Trump enabler is all but complete.

Independent

Republican narrative

The Senate Democrats refuse to admit that America faces serious challenges at home and abroad and that change is needed to restore peace to an increasingly unstable world. This hearing was a masterclass from Rubio, taking on obstructionist Democrats who care more about illegal immigrants than Americans.
