“This is Such a Stupid Media Narrative” — Rubio TORCHES Ani-Trump Media Hack Margaret Brennan for Peddling Lie that EU Leaders Are Rushing to White House to Stop Trump from ‘Bullying Zelensky’

August 17, 2025

The corrupt corporate media never stops pushing its tired, anti-Trump narratives, and this weekend, CBS’s Face the Nation host Margaret Brennan embarrassed herself yet again.

During an interview with Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Brennan flat-out peddled the fake news line that European leaders are flying into Washington because they are “concerned” President Trump might bully Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky into signing a peace agreement.

“You know there’s concern from the Europeans that President Zelenskyy is going to be bullied into signing something away. That’s why you have these European leaders coming as backup tomorrow,” Brennan claimed.

But Rubio wasn’t having it. He immediately shut down Brennan’s nonsense.

“No, it isn’t. That’s not why they’re coming back. That’s not true. They’re not coming here tomorrow to keep Zelensky from being bullied,” Rubio shot back, dismantling Brennan’s fantasy storyline.

Rubio reminded Brennan that the United States and European partners have been in constant talks, with numerous meetings with Zelensky and his team, and that these visits were planned and coordinated, not some emergency mission to rescue Zelensky from Trump.

But Brennan, desperate to keep the anti-Trump script alive, doubled down, dredging up February’s Oval Office meeting and painting a picture of Trump humiliating Zelensky on camera.

Rubio swiftly dismantled that line of attack too, pointing out that there have been far more constructive meetings with Ukraine than the media pretends, and that Trump is focused on one thing the media clearly doesn’t care about, ending the war.

Margaret Brennan:
That February Oval Office meeting in front of television cameras where President Zelenskyy was dressed down.

Marco Rubio:
You know how many meetings we had since then?

Margaret Brennan:
I know. I was just up in Alaska watching. That’s the one with Vladimir Putin, where the red carpet rolls out for the rest of the leaders.

Marco Rubio:
No, but with Zelenskyy. We’ve had more meetings. We’ve had one meeting with Putin and like a dozen meetings with Zelenskyy. But that’s not true. They’re not coming here tomorrow to keep Zelenskyy from being bullied. They’re coming here tomorrow because we’ve been working with the Europeans. We talked to them last week. There were meetings in the UK over the previous weekend.

Margaret Brennan:
And they said President Trump is going to demand a ceasefire.

Marco Rubio:
The President talked to these leaders as early as Thursday. But you said that they’re coming here tomorrow to keep Zelenskyy from being bullied. They’re not coming here tomorrow. This is such a stupid media narrative — that they’re coming here tomorrow because Trump is going to bully Zelenskyy into a bad deal. We’ve been working with these people for weeks on this stuff. They’re coming here tomorrow because they chose to come here tomorrow. We invited them to come. We invited them to come. The President invited them to come.
