Secretary of State Marco Rubio slammed Colombian President Gustavo Petro on Thursday, calling him a "lunatic" as the feud between Bogota and Washington continues to escalate.
"The Colombian authorities, when it comes to their military and their police, are still pro-American. The only problem with Colombia is their lunatic president. He's a lunatic, he's not well. Everybody knows that. The Colombian Congress voted to designate the Venezuelan regime as a narco terrorist organization. It is unfortunate they have to deal with this guy until May of next year," Rubio told press, in reference to the country's next presidential elections. The next president is set to take office on August 7.
