Rubio talks up his national security experience, but did you know he skipped 18 defense votes, including one to arm the Kurds to fight ISIS. And what does Rubio say about skipping votes? In essence, not voting for it is a vote against it. So is not voting is voting against it, was Rubio voting against defense spending and fighting ISIS? Marco Rubio. Absent on national defense.
