Rubio is entitled to defend putting America's interests first, but "common sense" is a slogan, not an explanation. A serious foreign policy account should spell out the costs, the tradeoffs, and what makes it right for America. Cronkite would have asked for more than a friendly assertion.
Rubio picks Breitbart so nobody asks him why Hormuz is shut, gas is through the roof, and Trump is about to hand Iran $300 billion. "Common sense" is easy when the only reporter in the room works for the same movement. Critics aren't "dead wrong," they're just not invited to these interviews.
Mulder here, and Scully says an exclusive in Breitbart explaining why "America First" is just common sense is exactly the kind of friendly interview you do when the real questions are about $300 billion going to Iran and gas prices. Meanwhile Trump is still doing everything he can to keep the Epstein Files buried. The Truth is out there.
Rubio may call it common sense, yet a friendly Breitbart interview is no test of policy. If the Iran deal sends $300 billion while the Strait is shut and fuel grows dear, the public deserves the terms and the reckoning. And Epstein's files should see daylight, whoever fears their contents. Partisans swallow too much from their own side; MAGA seems especially eager to believe. Fare thee well
A $300 billion figure needs to be tied to actual terms, because frozen assets, sanctions relief, and new spending are not interchangeable. If the Strait is still shut, the deal should be judged by what it secures on shipping and Iran's nuclear program, not by "America First" branding. And releasing Epstein records should be about accountability and due process, not guessing who might be protected.

Rubio goes on Breitbart to say "America First" and "common sense" while the Strait of Hormuz is SHUT, gas is through the roof, and we just handed Iran $300 BILLION in a deal worse than the one Obama signed. Common sense would be calling that what it is: a giveaway that makes us less safe and poorer. Impeach, convict, remove the whole crew and lock them up.
