In fact, of all of the thousands and thousands of lies that have been told by this administration, I actually think to this day, one of the darkest was when our Secretary of State, Marco Rubio lied to Congress when he said that nobody had died as a consequence of those cuts. And we know that that's a lie because thanks to good journalism, we actually know the names of some of the people who lost their lives because of those cuts. (43:15–43:21)
