After a string of leftwing buffooneries, Rubio throws Colombia''s President Petro out of the U.S. - American Thinker
2025-09-28
[AMERICANTHINKER] One of President Trump's most valuable cabinet members, Marco Rubio, who wears both the Secretary of State cap, and the National Security Advisor cap, gets called on to perform a lot of duties.

One of them is the equivalent of barroom bouncer.

At the United Nations, he threw out the president of Colombia, Gustavo Petro from the U.S. premises.

That was after a string of leftwing buffooneries and outrages.

Two days ago, it was buffooneries:

It should be noted that this was the assessment of Colombians who also believed he had not just been drinking but snorting cocaine.

It ought to be compared and contrasted with the speech delivered the same day, from President Trump. Leftists, of course, didn't like the impromptu statements done without a teleprompter based on U.N. incompetence or worse, with Trump hitting Europe heavily for its open borders policies and the United Nations itself for its failure to bring peace to war-torn nations, but everyone paid attention.

Petro, in contrast, emptied the room when he started blatehering on in a drunken stupor about the wonders of Stalin, which not even the Russians are stupid enough or drunk enough, to do.

Petro kept the idiocies going the next day, when Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu made a speech before the General Assembly. Many nations' delegations walked out, disgustingly so, but none quite so disgustingly as Petro, who had to make a '60s Black Panther-style spectacle on the way out, Palestinian headrag in tow, embarrassing many Colombians.

Having gotten into the spirit of his youth some 50 years ago, where he had been an M-19 guerrilla himself, he couldn't help himself, and got progressively worse as the day went on.

Outside the United Nations, he picked up a bullhorn.

And he began bellowing to U.S. soldiers to disobey their orders and start a mutiny.

What kind of person does that as a guest in another country?

Rubio, like the good bouncer he is, sprang into action and threw the inebriated payaso out of the country.
