Rubio Campaign Press Release - FLASHBACK: Marco Rubio Has Been Warning about North Korea's Nuclear Threat for Months
North Korea reportedly tested a nuclear weapon tonight — according to the North Korean government, a hydrogen bomb, which would be its claimed first test of such a weapon.
In a statement tonight, Marco noted that he's been warning about the danger of President Obama's policy toward North Korea and other rogue nations on the campaign trail for months now:
I have been warning throughout this campaign that North Korea is run by a lunatic who has been expanding his nuclear arsenal while President Obama has stood idly by. If this test is confirmed, it will be just the latest example of the failed Obama-Clinton foreign policy. Our enemies around the world are taking advantage of Obama's weakness. We need new leadership that will stand up to people like Kim Jong-un and ensure our country has the capabilities necessary to keep America safe.
North Korea is one of the topics Marco addresses in a recent ad, too:
