Marco Rubio has been having a nightmare 48 hours
Florida Senator Marco Rubio has never said or done anything of value in his entire career; he’s just sort of there. He mostly sticks to scripted talking points, pretends to be a moderate, says little of substance, and counts on the mainstream media to normalize him – so the public doesn’t catch on that he’s a childlike buffoon with an extremist voting record who brainlessly falls to pieces when he occasionally goes off script.
Unfortunately for Marco Rubio, this groundbreaking progressive legislation from Senate Democrats – and the complex process to get it passed, in spite of the final vote tally having already been known in advance – pushed Rubio to the point where he was winging it this weekend. Suffice it to say that it didn’t go well for him.
At one point Rubio tried to bash the Democrats for holding the vote at all, but instead he ended up coming off like a lazy slouch who was whining about being forced to do his job for once. At another point Rubio got flustered and accidentally tweeted the confirmation number for his own flight before deleting it.
Then, in a floor speech that should not be overlooked, Rubio went on a rant about “Soros backed prosecutors” – which was both a clear antisemitic attack on Holocaust survivor George Soros, and an attempt at pandering to the lunatic right wing conspiracy theorists who pretend Soros is secretly in control of the nation.
Even as Rubio was busy digging himself a hole this weekend, a new poll was released which showed Rubio and Democratic candidate Val Demings tied in their 2022 midterm Senate race. This is a big deal, because while the polling had been inching in Demings direction over the past couple months, Rubio had maintained a lead in every poll – until now. And now Rubio is stupidly handing talking points to Demings. Rubio is having a nightmare weekend. You can make sure his nightmare continues by donating to or volunteering for the Val Demings campaign.
