"Well then, the Republicans are going to lose because I do not think that Marco Rubio can remove the stench of the Trump administration from his very being! Hostin exclaimed to audience applause. She continued: He is the son of immigrants from Cuba that came here in 1956. How dare he stand by complicitly and allow Latinos to be rounded up, allow American citizens to be shot in the face and shot in the chest and shot in the back. How dare he allow the voting stand by idly while the Voting Rights Act is gutted, and disenfranchising African American voting."
"Something that African Americans, who built this joint for free, who built this country for free, be disenfranchised of their vote. And at the moment as the Secretary of State, immigrants from travel ban countries are currently in limbo. The Trump administration has expanded travel restrictions to include 39 countries facing full or partial bans. And a lot, Black and Brown countries."
"And what about Haiti? You think a Haitian should is allowed to be here with their temporary status just thrown away and going back to a country that is in complete political turmoil when his very parents left political turmoil and found asylum here? Disgusting!"
"Co-host Ana Navarro stepped in with a correction. Can I tell you something? They didn't leave political turmoil. They left, as you mentioned, in 1956. So, they left before the Cuban Revolution. They left because they were poor. They left like so many people leave Mexico, leave some other countries, because they were looking for better for econ"
Marco Rubio faced criticism for allegedly standing by while minorities are persecuted under the Trump administration. The criticism cited Latinos being rounded up, American citizens being shot, and the Voting Rights Act being gutted with African American voters being disenfranchised. The remarks also referenced immigrants from travel-ban countries being left in limbo, with expanded restrictions covering 39 countries, including Black and Brown countries. Haiti was raised as an example of temporary status being discarded despite political turmoil. A co-host corrected a claim about Cuban parents leaving political turmoil, saying they left in 1956 due to poverty and before the Cuban Revolution.
