Exclusive: memo came after Mike Huckabee’s remarks about Israel sparked alarm inside White House

The US secretary of state Marco Rubio told ambassadors in the Middle East to stop making public comments that could inflame tensions and undermine Donald Trump’s pressure on Iran to relinquish its capacity to produce a nuclear weapon, according to a memo obtained by the Guardian.

“Giving rising tensions in the region, Chiefs of Mission and embassies at addressee posts must refrain from public statements, interviews, or social media activity that could in any way inflame regional audiences, prejudice sensitive political issues, or complicate US relationships,” the cable said.

. . .

Inside the administration, the directive was widely interpreted as a pointed rebuke of the US ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, following his recent appearance on former Fox News host Tucker Carlson’s podcast in which he said Israel had a biblical right to much of the land in the Middle East.

Marco? Antonio? Rubio? Shouldn’t ICE be making one of those super legal deportations? Looks at notes… not white, check. Funny sounding name, check. Child of Cuban immigrants, holy fuck, check. American, check.

That’s more than enough for ICE to execute him in the streets. Those guys are entitled by Cheesus to perform the lords cleansing as per the bible. /s

Is Rubio going to scold Trump when he inevitably says something he shouldn't have?

Fuck Marco in the ass with a cactus. A weak, pathetic little toad.

commentary intensifies

Rubio's gonna get fired anyway. He made a speech that that didn't terrify people in Munich as badly as MAGA speeches usually do, so he got a standing ovation, and Trump HAAAAATES that.
