The most underqualified person to ever lead the US State Department, Empty Suit Marco Rubio, has removed an online portal for reporting alleged human rights violations by foreign military units supplied with American weapons. The Human Rights Reporting Gateway (HRG) acted as a formal "tip line" to the USG. The HRG was the only publicly accessible channel of its kind for organizations or individuals to inform it directly of potentially serious abuses by US-armed foreign forces. Human rights groups condemned its deletion, as did the senior congressional aide who drafted the law requiring it. The State Department insisted it was still abiding by the law. The portal was established in 2022 following pressure on successive administrations to abide by updated provisions of the Leahy Law, named after former US Senator Patrick Leahy. These require the government to "facilitate receipt" of information on alleged gross violations of human rights by military units supplied by Washington.
The US is the world's biggest contributor of military aid to foreign countries, supplying funding, equipment, training, and arms to more than 150 nations. The HRG helped prevent arms going to military units involved in breaches of international law. Just two of the many cases submitted via the HRG: Colombian security forces brutally cracking down on protestors and the IDF killing of Palestinians with US-supplied weapons. Marco Rubio revoked the visas of foreigners critical of good-for-nothing racist xenophobe Charlie Kirk. To secure a deal with the rightwing junta of El Salvador to accept deported US migrants, lickspittle Marco Rubio coughed up confidential informants to the sinister Nayib Bukele. In March 2025, Empty Suit Marco Rubio expedited $4bn of American taxpayer funds to the IDF during their genocidal campaign in Gaza: US Funding Ethnic Cleansing. In 2015 then-US Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) inserted debilitating riders into the Affordable Care Act (AKA Obamacare') to undermine it: Vapid Marco Rubio Maliciously Sabotages ACA. This overpaid sycophant thought we'd forget his underhanded deviltry..
Simply put, Marco Rubio is just one of the world's worst persons ever. Ever.
