Marco Rubio is likely to become the 48th President of the United States, so I will mention right now that I don’t like him.
The R’s in the House voted 211-to-1 not to proceed with the impeachment of the evil idiot Hegseth, so it’s hard to admire any of that party (excepting Massie, the sole Nay vote by a Repub) but Rubio is particularly disgusting. Recall that his intellectual contribution to the big R debate in 2016 was to focus attention to the size of Trump’s hands.
During the Biden Adminitration, Rubio thought the best use of his time was to demand an investigaton into Cabinet Secretary Buttigieg’s taxpayer-paid travel expenses (less than $60,000).
( Transportation Dept. watchdog to audit Buttigieg's air travel ) I suppose that if Rubio thought that recovering part of this $60,000 was the best use of his power as a then-U.S. Senator, he deserves pity.
But the stunt has backfired and proven Rubio to be a despicable hypocrite.
Rubio, now a Cabinet Secretary himself, has forced the taxpayers to pay, not $60k. not $80k, not even $100k) but over $1.2 Million for personal travel, mostly to Gainsville, Florida where his son Anthony plays for the Gators, an NCAA football team.
Perhaps the proud father could be forgiven if Anthony was a star athlete.but he’s a 3rd-stringer who has appeared at all in only 4 games over the past four years. In most of the games Rubio attended at great taxpayer expense, his son did not appear at all. Anthony had one (1) touchdown, but that was back in 2024.
Rubio sits next to Trump in many many photogrsphs, praising his great Führer. He is a strong supporter of foolish wars, and seems proud to be called the “Viceroy of Venezuela.” The probability that this disgusting hypocrite will be the next POTUS makes me want to barf.
