Our democracy isn’t just under attack from Trump—it’s eroding because others are helping him get away with it.
{{#if }} {{/if}} While Trump’s loyalists jostle for favor, one name stands out as his most dangerous enabler: Marco Rubio. Discarding the values he once claimed to hold, Rubio is helping drive some of Trump’s most controversial policies—from reckless deportation deals to the shutdown of a program tracking abducted Ukrainian children. Rubio has quietly advanced efforts that appear aimed at suppressing evidence of potential Russian war crimes, helped broker deportations that raise serious human rights concerns, and backed the dismantling of foreign aid programs once seen as bipartisan priorities. This isn’t compromise—it’s complicity. At The New Republic, we’re following the enablers—not just the front man. But we can’t keep up this work without your support. Choose your plan: |
