When Secretary of State Marco Rubio was a U.S. senator, he was like a hero to one diplomat who was struck with Havana Syndrome while serving the U.S. in China back in 2018.
The New York Post spoke with Mark Lenzi, who has become one of the most prominent victims, saying that he was targeted when he blew the whistle on those who continue to suffer the effects.
He said that he faced “negative rumors about his management,” which led to being ostracized at work and made his health problem worse.
“As senator, Marco Rubio was a crucial lawmaker for me and my three family members to receive vital HAVANA Act designation status,” Lenzi said in an interview. “My family regarded him as nothing short of heroic for us.”
Indeed, Rubio announced in 2023 that he refused to believe a CIA report that claimed Havana Syndrome was not the result of a foreign adversary, United Press International (UPI) reported.
But now that Rubio is running the State Department and serving as the acting national security advisor, he's gone quiet.
“As Secretary of State, he has been Missing In Action on this issue when I have needed him most and has stood by and done nothing while Deep State bureaucrats have retaliated against me for testifying to Congress about State Department efforts to cover up evidence,” Lenzi continued.
