Republican presidential candidate Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) said Sunday that actor Sean Penn’s interview with Mexican drug kingpin Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman was “grotesque.”
Penn interviewed the drug lord for a piece published in Rolling Stone. The article was published Saturday, a day after Guzman was captured by authorities following his intricate escape from prison.
Rubio responded to the interview on ABC’s “This Week.”
“If one of these American actors who have benefited from the greatness of this country, who have made money from our free enterprise system, want to go fawn all over a criminal and a drug trafficker in their interviews, they have a Constitutional right to do it,” Rubio said. “I find it grotesque.”
Rubio added that Penn was not someone he thinks about often and “didn’t even know he was still around.”
Who really cares what this toad thinks of the interview?
I imagine we’ll soon be saying the same about you, Mr. Cute Boots.
That’s rich, considering that Marky-Marco’s got a drug kingpin for a brother-in-law.
Turns out the interview was part of the official investigation and Penn actually helped capture Guzman.
So now what does Junior have to say?
$20 says lightweight Rubio never personally read the interview - was just provided with irate talking points by his handlers.
