From Fox News: Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., tore into former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for claiming former President Trump poses “a danger to our country and the world” on the heels of a second apparent attempt on his life.

“If you repeatedly say someone is going to be the next Adolf Hitler or the next Mussolini… you eventually have to conclude that the overwhelming majority of people that see that are going to say, ‘We better vote against this guy,’ but there are enough lunatics and nutjobs out there who are going to take the next step and say, ‘Well, this guy is truly evil, this guy is truly dangerous. If our democracy and our system of government is going to be wiped out if this guy wins, I need to take this guy out,'” he told “America’s Newsroom” co-anchors Bill Hemmer and Dana Perino on Tuesday.

Rubio continued, speaking of suspect Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, who was taken into custody after being accused of pointing an AK-47 rifle at the former president at the Trump International Golf Course in Palm Beach County, Florida on Sunday.

“We need to learn more about this individual. We need to learn how he got there, how that perimeter wasn’t secured, who he was and what was behind it, but I think we know enough about some of the things he’s posted to say that he clearly was influenced in some way by this rhetoric about Trump being this dangerous dictator-in-waiting,” he said.


Rubio also agreed that Trump should receive the same level of Secret Service protection as a sitting president, especially considering that he is the GOP nominee, and has already had two attempts made on his life.

“Calling someone Adolf Hitler has consequences. The inflammatory rhetoric against the former president and current presidential candidate needs to stop,” Rubio declared, sharing a clip from the interview.
