Marco Rubio to boycott State of the Union because it requires a Covid test: 'I don't have time' to take one

?id=29338756&width=793&height=417

According to The Daily Beast, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) will boycott President Joe Biden's first State of the Union address.

The reason? Negative COVID tests will be required to attend — and he does not want to take one.

“I don’t have time to go take a COVID test today," Rubio told Igor Bobic of The Huffington Post. "I only take a test if I’m sick.”

He's LIDDLE MARCO, so he has to make up some lame COVID-19 excuse instead
of putting on adult pants and come right out and say he's boycotting it, because
he would need a boycott reason. Defending Putin was taken off of the table.


Let alone admit that he's trying to gain favor with DeSantis.

who requires Sars 2 Covid testing prior to meeting him and as seen in pictures where you must be far away from him at meetings, etc.

Oh the irony. Bottom line, and there are quite a few of the GQP congresscritters will do the same and blame it on the testing, during a universal crisis.

In Florida, we send our best and brightest to Washington. DeSantis is working overtime to be worthy.

To Hell with Rubio.

Takes a couple of minutes

Did it 4:30 pm on Wednesday and got results 8:30am Thursday morning using app. Was able to go to friends house for Thanksgiving

I took test because someone in office had tested positive for covid


Rubio is full of malarkey!

Rubio doesn't have a minute or two to take the test?

Here's another reason Rubio is a coward. If he wants to boycott President Biden's speech, he should take a political stand against it. Using the Covid test as an excuse is hiding behind his momma's skirt.

He's such a piece of human garbage that I don't understand how anyone can support him. He's done nothing for his constituents and he's embarrassingly stupid.

DeSantis has upped the ante and all Florida Republicans have to toe the anti-vax/mask/testing party line.
