Q: What did you make of the question you got yesterday on racist comments?

Q: What did you make of the question you got yesterday on racist comments?
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio: "I don’t know who he was talking about, but I figured, I assumed that he was talking about people posting stuff online. I don’t even know. Some of those could be a troll or could be a bot. I don’t know.
So that’s why I asked him specifically, can you tell me what you’re talking about and who you’re talking about? He didn’t have a specific example. But the bottom line is that in the modern era, you go online and there are people saying all kinds of crazy stuff online. I don’t even know if they’re real people or who they are. But I didn’t know what he was coming from."
Q: I think there’s something that was reposted by the president where he was talking about India being referred as a "hellhole."
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio: "Well, I gave him a chance to tell me that. That’s not what he said. The president loves India. He said it last night. Were you guys there when he called in for the event last night, the 250? The president’s a big fan of India, a big fan of Prime Minister Modi.
I wouldn’t be here if the president didn’t want me to be here. He wouldn’t have sent someone like Sergio to be our ambassador, someone who’s very close to the president.
But I gave that reporter a chance to tell me who he was referring to, and he didn’t. So I just assumed he’s talking just about random voices out there. I mean, people say stupid stuff all the time on social media in every country in the world, unfortunately."

"Relieved to learn that President Trump, the First Lady and Vice President are safe and unharmed following the recent security incident at a Washington DC hotel. I extend my best wishes for their continued safety and well-being. Violence has no place in a democracy and must be unequivocally condemned."
Received a call from my friend President Donald Trump. We reviewed the substantial progress achieved in our bilateral cooperation in various sectors. We are committed to further strengthening our Comprehensive Global Strategic Partnership in all areas. We also discussed the situation in West Asia and stressed the importance of keeping the Strait of Hormuz open and secure.
