"SNIP.....

The Orlando Sentinel editorial board says Sen. Marco Rubio’s (R-FL) opposition to a bipartisan Jan. 6 commission is the last straw and asks readers to “consider these words.”

“We need to learn as much as we can: A, because it was a shameful day — something that should never happen again — and B, because I think our enemies of this country, terrorists and others, will look to learn from that day, potentially, one day take lessons learned from it to attack us here.”

“That’s not from the Miami Herald’s editorial. That’s what Rubio himself said less than two weeks ago.”

“Sorry to say it, but Marco Rubio is beyond hope.”

....SNIP"

He publicly called for violence in the Fl streets against his political opposition. He is and always has been trash.

There are 2 Republicans in the Senate that will possibly side with what is right, even if it is a Democratic proposal. 2 that will POSSIBLY side with us. Mitt Romney and Lisa Murkowski.

Susan Collins will "be concerned" but is a coward and will always vote as she is told. Everyone else is just as gross as McConnell, Rubio, Kennedy, and the rest.

Until you've lexperienced living in Miami-Dade hold your judgement of my statement.

There's not a lot of difference between male cubans and klan members.
