Republican Sen. Marco Rubio, a potential vice presidential contender, is taking heat for comparing former President Donald Trump's hush money trial to show trials in military revolutionary Cuba and posting video of one that ended in the execution of the accused. Rubio has been vehemently criticizing Trump's conviction and deriding the judge and prosecutors.

' 'What you actually see with the accusations that have been made by Trump and Rubio and Cruz is that they are in fact acting as authoritarians when they’re trying to discredit the rule of law,' said Jennifer Mercieca, a professor at Texas A&M in College Station and the author of 'Demagogue for President: The Rhetorical Genius of Donald Trump.' 'These are intelligent people. They have law degrees,' she said of Rubio and Cruz.
