Marco Rubio defends Trump on India comments

    โดย Flint: Social Media

    During a press interaction, a reporter asked Marco Rubio about racist comments directed at India. Rubio responded, "I don't know who he was talking about...he didn't have a specific example! There are people saying crazy stuff online. I don't know if they're real people." The reporter clarified that the comments were reposted by the president, referring to India as a 'hellhole.' Rubio then said, "I gave him a chance to tell me that. That's not what he said. The President loves India. He said it last night. Were you guys there when he called in for the event last night to 250? The President is a big fan of India, a big fan of Prime Minister Modi. I wouldn't be here if the President didn't want me to be here." He added, "He wouldn't have sent someone like Sergio to be our ambassador. Someone who's very close to the President. But I gave that reporter a chance to tell me who he was referring to. And he didn't. So I just assumed he's talking just about random voices out there. I mean, people say stupid stuff all the time on social media and every country in the world, unfortunately!

    It'll be now in Lebanon, and it'll be understood beyond that. What did you make of the question you got yesterday on racist comments? I don't know who he was talking about. But I figured, I assumed that he was talking about people posting stuff online. I don't even know. Some of those could be a troll or could be a bot. I don't know. So that's why I asked him specifically, can you tell me what you're talking about and who you're talking about? He didn't have a specific example. But the bottom line is that in the modern era, you go online, and there are people saying all kinds of crazy stuff online. I don't even know if they're real people or who they are. But I didn't know what he was coming from. I think there was something that was reposted by the president where he was talking about India being quote-unquote a whole world. Well, I gave him a chance to tell me that. That's not what he said. The president loves India. He said it last night. Were you guys there when he called in for the event last night, the 250? The president's a big fan of India, a big fan of Prime Minister Modi. I wouldn't be here if the president didn't want me to be here. He wouldn't have sent someone like Sergio to be our ambassador, someone who's very close to the president. So, but I gave that reporter a chance to tell me who he was referring to, and he didn't. So I just assumed he's talking just about random voices out there. I mean, people say stupid stuff all the time on social media, and every country in the world, unfortunately. Can I ask you about Pakistan?
