“It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown”
Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, a possible vice presidential pick for former President Donald Trump, defended Trump's previous remarks on immigrants "poisoning the blood of our country" in a Spanish-language interview Wednesday with Telemundo.
"I think he speaks that way and in that manner," Rubio said in Spanish, with an English-language translation provided by the network, when asked if Trump could win the Latino vote, despite those comments.
"There have been Hispanics in his Cabinet, or rather, on his staff. As the press mentions, he's considering one as his vice presidential running mate," Rubio added, in what seemed to be a reference to himself. "He's had very strong ties to the community."
Under further questioning, Rubio claimed Trump's comment was not really about race.
