Democratic senators criticized Secretary of State Marco Rubio for aligning himself with President Donald Trump's foreign policy views, noting during a congressional hearing the contrast between the views he held as a member of the Upper House and those he espouses at the moment.
The hearing, held by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, grew tense after Senator Chris Van Hollen likened Rubio to Joseph McCarthy, known for accusing many of being Soviet Union infiltrates during the 1950s.
