In an\u2064 appearance on CBS News&#8217; *Face the Nation*, Rubio defended Trump\u2019s statement, which suggested Cheney should be\u200c sent to a warzone, \u2062arguing \u200cit was misunderstood and taken out of context. He\u2062 contended that Trump was highlighting the\u2063 disconnection between politicians advocating \u200cfor military \u2064action and the realities faced by those who serve in combat. Rubio\u200b labeled the media\u2019s portrayal \u2064of Trump\u2019s comments as a deliberate effort to distort his message, stating that he\u200c had never witnessed \u200csuch an organized attempt to misrepresent the\u2062 truth in the media before.
