Rubio on White House drama: "People got what they voted for"
By/ Emily Tillett/ CBS News/ May 21, 2017, 12:21 PMSen. Marco Rubio, R-Florida, said Sunday that "people got what they voted for" with the Trump presidency.
"I don't understand why people are that shocked," Rubio said on CBS News' "Face the Nation," following a tumultuous period for the Trump White House. "This president ran a very unconventional campaign. I was there for a big part of it at the beginning alongside being one of his competitors. And that's what the American people voted for. And in essence, you know, this White House is not much different from the campaign."
Rubio's comments come after two weeks of White House blunders for the Trump administration, leaving many in Congress questioning the future of the investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election.
Rubio called much of the drama coming out of the White House "unique" and "different than anything we've confronted."
"We'll have to deal with these issues. These issues come up, these questions every single day. And I do think the White House would benefit from some systems in place that perhaps avoid some of the unnecessary friction points that come up on a daily basis. But this is also the political environment we now live in, too," Rubio said.
