Open letter from Florida U.S. Representative Ted Deutch to Senator Marco Rubio
Published in the Miami Herald by Congressman Ted Deutch:
From U.S. Rep. Ted Deutch, Florida’s 22nd Congressional District
Dear Senator Rubio, "There is only one universe of facts"
Senator Rubio warns about political divisiveness, yet he blinds himself to Trumpsiism’s rhetoric (and seems willing to accept "alternative facts"!)
By using the Office of the Presidency to pressure foreign leaders to assist his re-election campaign, President Trump threatens our national security and the core values that should be at the center of our foreign policy.
By suggesting that we “wait for all of the information to come forward,” Senator Rubio ignores the Trump administration’s obstruction of congressional efforts to obtain those facts.
And when Senator Rubio minimizes Trump's glaring abuse of office as “needling the press,” he carelessly suggests the president’s words have no meaning.
The problem isn’t that Americans are living in “two separate universes.”
It is that people like Senator Rubio are helping Donald Trump attempt to create one where he can never be held accountable.
Representative Ted Deutch representes Florida's 22nd Legislative District in Congress. He wrote an open leter published in the Miami Herald, whereby he calls on Florida Senator Marco Rubio to practice what he preaches and to stop ignoring the dangerousness of Trumpziim.

Miami Herald reported: “Rubio warns the divided flow of information is threatening democracy in the U.S.:” Moreover, Senator Marco Rubio lamented divisions in media and culture that produce “a world where people might be neighbors and live in two separate universes.”
Unfortunately, Senator Rubio has deepened the divide by refusing to condemn the misinformation and dangerous rhetoric President Trump deployed in response to the impeachment inquiry — claims of a coup, accusations of treason, and warnings of civil war.
There is only one universe of facts.

Here is the fact: Trump admitted that he asked the Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky to investigate a political rival and then publicly doubled down on his request for foreign interference in our 2020 election.
