title:  Marco Rubio Grows A Spine, Blasts Trump For Trying To Team Up With Putin
text: Alleged president Donald Trump announced on his Twitter timeline that he and Russian President Vladimir Putin discussed forming a cybersecurity unit and that s like joining forces with a pedophile to combat child abuse. Russia not only interfered with our 2016 presidential election but they also breached more than a dozen power plants, including a nuclear facility in Kansas.Even spineless Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) has had it with Trump s newest idea. On Sunday, Rubio took to his Twitter account to unleash a series of tweets to blast Trump s insane announcement.The Florida senator said Putin can never be a  trusted ally  or a  reliable partner. While reality & pragmatism requires that we engage Vladimir Putin, he will never be a trusted ally or a reliable constructive partner,  Rubio tweeted.While reality & pragmatism requires that we engage Vladimir Putin, he will never be a trusted ally or a reliable constructive partner. 1/3  Marco Rubio (@marcorubio) July 9, 2017 Partnering with Putin on a  Cyber Security Unit  is akin to partnering with Assad on a  Chemical Weapons Unit.  We have no quarrel with Russia or the Russian people. Problem is with Putin & his oppression, war crimes & interference in our elections,  he continued.Partnering with Putin on a "Cyber Security Unit" is akin to partnering with Assad on a "Chemical Weapons Unit". 2/3  Marco Rubio (@marcorubio) July 9, 2017 We have no quarrel with Russia or the Russian people.

Paul Manafort, the campaign s chairman at the time, and Jared Kushner, Trump s son-in-law and adviser, also attended the meeting at Trump Tower which took place just two weeks after Trump won his party s nomination.A spokesman for Trump s legal team said the amateur president was  not aware of and did not attend  the meeting which was in his building and attended by his daughter s husband.Let s hear Marco Rubio s opinion on that, too, since the Florida Senator admitted to Russia s  interference in our elections.
