Mr. Rubio, why did your boss murder that Iranian man in broad daylight on 5th avenue?

Purely self defense

“Well, Trump’s intent was to mug him and leave him bloody in the street, but he knew he was probably armed, and would likely try to defend himself, so he had to shoot him first. It was purely an act of self-defense.”

Context: [Rubio, following the attack on Iran: “So, the president made the very wise decision. We knew that there was going to be an Israeli action, we knew that that would precipitate an attack against American forces, and we knew that if we didn’t preemptively go after them before they launched those attacks, we would suffer higher casualties.”]
