Secretary of State Marco Rubio Remarks to the Press

Published | Video Starts at 12:28

Oh yeah, look, obviously I think sometimes when you look at this stuff we forget we take for granted that our military is so affected that the mission they carry out is very, very dangerous. And so We lost people in Jordan after there was a strike. A missile got through. We shot down almost all the missiles. One leak through, hit the wrong place and tragically, and it's heartbreaking, and our hearts go out to these families. (12:28–12:32)
