Did ya know Marco Rubio's brother-in-law had a $75M drug ring? And now— "Rubio is helping carry the torch for a now decades-old U.S. foreign policy: claiming to fight drug trafficking while in fact tolerating, protecting, or even cooperating with…the criminality Rubio purports to be concerned with."
And as the nation’s top diplomat, Marco Rubio has in some respects served as a friend and accomplice of drug trafficking or criminal enterprises, earning him the moniker “Narco Rubio” from critics. The complaints extend well beyond noting Rubio’s cocaine-trafficking brother-in-law. Rather, it’s that Rubio is helping carry the torch for a now decades-old U.S. foreign policy: claiming to fight drug trafficking while in fact tolerating, protecting, or even cooperating with criminal enterprises that advance U.S. establishment political and intelligence aims.

In his role as secretary of state, Rubio has protected, praised, and propped up a murderer’s row of Latin American leaders who each have ties to the criminality Rubio purports to be concerned with.

Share

For years, Rubio has praised former Colombian President Álvaro Uribe, and defended him against allegations of bribery and fraud. The Pentagon has identified Uribe as a Colombian politician “dedicated to collaboration with the Medellin cartel at high government levels,” as being “linked to a business involved in narcotics activities in the U.S.” and being a “close personal friend” of Pablo Escobar. On the other hand, Rubio perhaps appreciates Uribe’s efforts to stamp out communist insurgencies in Colombia – to the point of committing war crimes.

Rubio said last year that Ecudoran President Daniel Noboa “has done more just in the last couple years to take the fight to these narco-terrorists… than any previous administration.” Five months before that, Noboa’s family fruit business was revealed to have trafficked 700 kilos of cocaine to Europe. (Notably, this summer, an anti-corruption activist who was investigating ties between Noboa’s family and cocaine trafficking was found dead in her home with a noose around her neck; and days later, a prosecutor who had been investigating the drone attacks on Ecuadorian fishing boats carried out by the Trump administration was shot dead in the streets).
