The kicker: Rubio denied it before Lieu broke out the receipts. And then he denied it again after seeing the video evidence.

"Secretary Rubio, have you been at more than one meeting where President Trump has fallen asleep?" Lieu asked.

Even though Trump is technically still “alive” the retrumplicans are taking advantage of his lack of engagement and inattentive negligence to use him as cover to push their own agendas in some cases and going rudderless in others. A heck of a way to run a railroad.
