Reporter: Secretary, will the State Department continue telling foreign governments not to facilitate María Corina’s return to Venezuela?

Rubio: You said that’s widely reported at this point. By who? Who widely reported that?

Reporter: The Wall Street Journal has.

Rubio: So it’s in the newspaper, it’s true? I can show you a lot of articles that are in the newspaper that are not true.

I always love these stories. You guys get somebody to tell you something, then you report it. So now it’s an established fact, and then you ask me about it as if somehow I’m responding to something that is fact.

I don’t know what you’re talking about, honestly. I don’t know. Just because you guys report something doesn’t mean it’s true. You know this, right? I’m sure you know this.

So the premise to your question is not true. We’ve never asked anyone not to let anybody else in anywhere in the world. I’ve said this repeatedly. So I don’t know how to answer a question based on something that is false.
