While at the White House, Rubio posed for a photo with Vice President Mike Pence and Lilian Tintori, an activist whose husband, Leopoldo Lopez, has been held as a political prisoner in Venezuela since 2014.
Thank you @realDonaldTrump and @MikePenceVP for standing with the Venezuelan people & our aspirations to restore democracy to our country. https://t.co/n3MqGQy3LI

I almost feel sympathy for that Think Progress guy, he steps on a rake monthly. But then I remember what a smug prick he is and it passes.
