MERKLEY: How do you feel about being responsible for hundreds of thousands of kids dying because of your sudden interruption in these key programs?
VOUGHT: I reject the assertion
MERKLEY: I find your response both ignorant & callous. Few Americans have had a more devastating & disastrous impact

Harsh but absolutely spot on. Rubio has destroyed his entire legacy and for what? You know it's going to happen that at some point Trump will throw him under the bus.
