US senator Marco Rubio tweets snuff photo in presumed threat to Maduro
US Senator Marco Rubio

US Senator Marco Rubio shared what appears to be a thinly-veiled threat to Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro on social media last night.

The Florida senator posted two juxtaposed images on Twitter of the late Libyan leader Muammar Gadaffi, one at the peak of his power and another of him bloody and battered moments before Western-backed rebel fighters sodomised him to death with a bayonet.
