This is one of the most chilling manipulative lie I have read in a while. And I have read a lot of chilling manipulative lies from that American administration:

“When the leftist protests that we are violating his rights, understand that he is lying to try to persuade people who are not closely following the political scene that some injustice has been perpetrated against him. We must stay the course and be completely unflinching in the pursuit of justice against these enemies of civilization.”

‘Enemies of civilization’: top Trump officials disparage leftism at event

Marco Rubio and Stephen Miller took aim at only leftwing activism at meeting of 66 nations against political violence

Lil' Marco Rubio is such a tool. He can lie like Donald Trump, but has charisma of JD Vance, and is about as able to defend himself as a crew member on the last voyage of the Nostromo.

As for his constipated notion of Western civilization, when Gandhi was asked what he thought of Western civilization, his apocryphal reply was that he thought it would be a good idea.

@Em0nM4stodon On the one hand, it's a common trope among the troglodytes he's speaking for that anyone who stands up for rights or liberty must be the enemy of "civilized" people; on the other, there are far too many troglodytes for the lie to be as risible as it should.

@Em0nM4stodon “Little Hands” Pinochet. If anyone doubted that #Rubio is a Fascist 100% on board with the regime, this quote should clear it up. Like the rest of the MAGA leadership, Rubio is an #enemyofthepeople
