Marco Rubio says he's using the US military against Venezuela to stop fentanyl from "poisoning our people" But Rubio was a key sponsor of a 2016 bill that fueled the opioid crisis, blocking the DEA from investigating corrupt drug companies Rubio was heavily funded by Big Pharma, raking in $290K from the industry in 2016 alone The bill caused so much death and destruction that its lead sponsor, Rep. Tom Marino, was forced to withdraw his nomination as Trump's drug czar It's just another reason why Narco Rubio is a fitting name for the war-crazed Secretary of State
