In America we have transparency,\u201d Rubio explained.&nbsp; \u201cWe have a press that covers whatever they want and sometimes they lie, sometimes they cover. You do something wrong in America, it\u2019s all over the place. We have a system of courts. People go to jail here because they do things that are not right. So before you get to the human rights record of the U.S., there\u2019s like 199 other places to deal with first.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Republican Florida Sen.
