Raves for Rubio
Who benefits from this decision?
(Scott Johnson) Secretary of State Rubio spoke at the Munich Security Conference earlier today. The Department of State has posted the video below along with the transcript of his remarks here. The video and transcript include a few questions and answers following his prepared remarks.
Toward the end of his speech he reviewed the peopling of America by European immigrants. Here he brought his family story into the mix:
[I]n the year that my country was founded, Lorenzo and Catalina Geroldi lived in Casale Monferrato in the Kingdom of Piedmont-Sardinia. And Jose and Manuela Reina lived in Sevilla, Spain. I don’t know what, if anything, they knew about the 13 colonies which had gained their independence from the British empire, but here’s what I am certain of: They could have never imagined that 250 years later, one of their direct descendants would be back here today on this continent as the chief diplomat of that infant nation. And yet here I am, reminded by my own story that both our histories and our fates will always be linked.
I think it’s fair to say that the Trump administration has no better spokesman on its behalf than Secretary Rubio. He crushed his assignment in presenting the case for the administration’s foreign policy in these remarks.
