Rubio on the Fake News: ‘These Leakers Are Professional Stabbers... There’s No Way Iran Comes to the Table If Somehow Nothing Had Happened’

Rubio: “First of all, on the stuff about the intelligence, this is what a leaker is telling you the intelligence says. That’s the game these people play. They read it, and then they go out and characterize it the way they want it characterized, and they’re leakers. This is the game they play. So that’s number one. Number two, here’s a fact. The conversion facility, which you can’t do a nuclear weapon without a conversion facility, we can’t even find where it is, where it used to be on the map. We can’t even find where it used to be because the whole thing is just blackened out. It’s gone.”
Trump: “It’s wiped out.”
Rubio: “It’s wiped out. Then we dropped 12 of the strongest bombs on the planet right down the hole in two places. Everything underneath that mountain is in bad shape. And I refer you to the statement of the IAEA, Mr. Grossi. You know what he said? He said there was Iran the way it looked the day before the attack and what their nuclear program looks like now, two very different things. They are way behind where they were just seven days ago. Now, anything in the world can be rebuilt, but now we know where it is. And if they try to rebuild it, we’ll have options there as well. But all this leaker stuff, these leakers are professional stabbers. That’s what they are. They go out and they read this stuff, and then they tell you what it says against the law, but they characterize it for you in a way that’s absolutely false. There’s no way Iran comes to the table if somehow nothing had happened. This was complete and total obliteration. They’re in bad shape. They are way behind today compared to where they were just seven days ago because of what the president did.”
