Secretary of State Marco Rubio (R-FL) eviscerated CBS host Margaret Brennan in a fiery exchange over the Trump administration’s decision to revoke visas of pro-Hamas student agitators.
Rubio didn’t just defend the move—he took the Left’s double standards on free speech and crushed them under the weight of their own hypocrisy.
The back-and-forth took place on CBS’s Face the Nation, where Brennan, as expected, tried to shield the Hamas sympathizer and Columbia University student whose visa was revoked for promoting Hamas propaganda.
Rubio, however, was having none of it.
Rubio laid out the facts clearly—foreign nationals have no constitutional right to stay in America if they lied about their intentions. The senator emphasized that participation in radical activism, rioting, and campus takeovers is more than just a “controversial opinion”—it’s a violation of visa conditions.
Margaret Brennan: I want to ask you about a decision you made to revoke a student visa for someone at Columbia University this past week. The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board writes:
“The administration needs to be careful. It’s targeting real promoters of terrorism, not breaking the great promise of a green card by deporting anyone with controversial political views.”
