Cruz is asked about previous presidents toppling dictators in the Middle East to support democracy and whether or not the Middle East is better off with those toppled dictators — and he nails it once again, suggesting that supporting democracy in the Middle East is not necessarily in America’s best interest. He also points out that these moderate rebels that we are told we should support against these dictators, well they are like purple unicorns, they never exist!
Rubio was then asked about his supporting of the intervention in Libya and he tried to argue why supporting the toppling of Qaddafi was a good thing. But even Mark Levin wasn’t buying it:
Sorry, but Rubio’s defense of the indefensible in Libya is BS. He supported the Obama-Hillary effort there, along with McCain and Graham, and the place is now a terrorist state. A repudiation of radical interventionism. There’s nothing Reaganesque about it.
