Senator Marco Rubio clashed with CBS host Margaret Brennan over the deportation of a former Columbia University student accused of supporting Hamas.
Rubio defended the Trump administration’s stance on revoking visas for individuals expressing pro-Hamas sentiments, arguing that such actions align with national security interests.
When pressed for evidence of material support for terrorism, Rubio dismissed the question, urging Brennan to 'watch the news.' The exchange highlights the ongoing debate over free speech, immigration policy, and national security in the U.S. amid heightened tensions over the Israel-Gaza conflict.
