The anti-Trump group Lincoln Project fired off a series of tweets on Friday accusing Marco Rubio (R-FL) have having prior knowledge of the Trump campaign’s alleged contacts with Russia in 2016.
“It was no mistake that [Marco Rubio] was made Chairman of the Senate Intel Committee. [Mitch McConell] and [President Trump] needed someone who would soft-sell the #RubioReport’s findings,” they tweeted.
Take a look at their tweets below:
The #RubioReport shows definitively that @marcorubio and members of the @SenateGOP understood that @realDonaldTrump's campaign was in touch with Russian intelligence during the 2016 campaign. #TheyKnew

Who better than #LittleMarco? #TheyKnew

Why?
Because @realdonaldtrump, @vp, @jaredkushner are doing it again in 2020. They will gladly take help from anyone who will help them retain power, even in the face of probable/likely electoral defeat this November. #TheyKnew #RubioReport

Remember #RussianRon? He spent the Fourth of July 2018 in Moscow. Maybe all the #MayDay flights were booked. @RonJohnsonWI (@SenRonJohnson).#TheyKnew #RubioReport

What the #RubioReport makes plain, though, is that #TheyKnew, and they’ve known all along, that Trump is unfit for office.
And they’ve helped him stay there.
