BigJournalism: On Tuesday, CNN media reporter Dylan Byers said Florida Sen. Marco Rubio’s choice to skip not one, but two critical Senate votes funding Planned Parenthood is a “sticking point” with conservatives fed up with pretty talk but no action, crediting Breitbart News for highlighting his poor attendance record.
“Just yesterday, Rubio told CNBC he would be there for votes with major national significanace of one that would make a difference. You heard that echoed in that interview with Matt Lauer. What do you make of the fact he’s missing a vote on defense spending? Is that a contradiction?” asked the CNN host.
“Rubio’s defense has been: One, I’m busy running for president, and two, there’s more to being a senator than casting every vote. I would say for many conservatives… the bigger issue is missing out on the Planned Parenthood votes,” Byers said.
Rubio left himself vulnerable to attack by talking a good game against abortion to earnest pro-life audiences, then casually skipping critical votes to fund Planned Parenthood and the government—avoiding putting himself on record when it mattered. more here
He’s liar-that’s the fucking sticking point.
Rubio is a smarmy little weasle and probably got his lunch money beat out of him every day.
The picture of the gang of eight with upchuck Shumer says everything one needs to know.
Old slimebag Shumer conned little Marky into voicing the incessant radio ads for amnesty! Little Marky was the willing shill for the old con artist (Marky just wanted to bask in Chuckie’s presence and feel his life force)!
The guy is establishment and it would be business as usual in washington dc. Road to hell.
Which issue is more important than the right to life? If I was a Senator I would do everything necessary to defund PP including cancelling fund raisers and interviews on the MSM.
Just another Pelosi-Catholic.
I agree with Txn, Rubicon is a smarmy little grease ball.
He will do for Rubio, that’s it.
RINO maxipad.
He looks like ‘Dondi’ lol
I thought his new portrait was supposed to make him appear more presidential. His face is doughy and pasty, eyes lifeless, mouth open, shoulders are too wide for the small head. My first thought when I saw it was, “Walking Dead”. Not presidential looking OR acting.
Guess all that lube rubbed over the camera lenses has that effect…used for aging actresses to hide saggy chins, waddles on necks, creases around eye sockets, … a softer look for Ms Rubi….has he joined ManCountry yet as the fave “boy”? Barky will be jealous.
Markie likes open borders that how he got into this country!
We have already gotten one “present” commander in chief…we don’t need another.
