WATCH: Marco Rubio DESTROYS Democrats Claiming Venezuela Operation was Illegal and Lacked Congressional Approval

Secretary of State Marco Rubio discussed the Trump Administration’s capture of Nicolas Maduro on NBC’s Meet the Press on Sunday and gave a thorough explanation of why the administration did not need congressional approval to execute the strikes in Venezuela and arrest Maduro. 

The action “couldn’t require congressional approval because this was not an invasion; this is not an extended military operation,” Rubio said, noting that they couldn’t afford leaks that would risk the lives of US troops.
