Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), discussing the FBI raid on President Trump’s Palm Beach home, said he’s seen things like this before, and it doesn’t end well:

“Look, I am here in a very unique position in South Florida, surrounded by people that come from countries where this is familiar to them. This is shocking to Americans, but in Latin America and many of these countries around the world, here’s what happens,” Rubio told Fox News’s Sean Hannity:

“A group takes power. One of the first things that group does is they begin to persecute and go after their political opponents, and then when the supporters of their political opponents begin to complain about it, they begin to target them and they criminalize opposition.

“And that’s what is happening here now. They took power, they are demanding — and you see it on Twitter and you see their public statements — they are demanding — they want Donald Trump arrested, they want him charged right now. They wanted him charged months ago, years ago, they wanted him charged.

“And I’m telling you, the next thing you are going to see here, Sean, because it’s the playbook. And that is, they are now going to begin to say oh, these Trump supporters, these Republicans, they’re very upset. They’re saying very angry things, we think they might be a threat, we think they’re radical extremists, let’s start arresting them.
