Let’s not forget Rush called Li’il Marco a full-throated conservative in 2016. Gag me with a spoon...
That bugged me, too.
Not as much as Rush embracing the Alinsky “birther” attack on those who know what natural born citizen means.
A little dicey describing him as a “conservative”.
The muddy real world backing he has from the Fanjul family (Sugar— vast operations. Alfy Fanjul has never become a U.S. citizen. He remains a permanent U.S. resident who maintains Spanish citizenship. Alfonso Fanjul served as co-chairman of Bill Clinton’s Florida campaign in 1992 and is a major contributor and fundraiser for the Democratic Party. His brother Pepe, who is a U.S. citizen, contributes to the Republicans.The Fanjul family was explicitly thanked by Marco Rubio for their support in his autobiographical memoir An American Son: A Memoir) See:wikipedia Fanjul brothers.
The connection is Spanish colonial (way back)— not US interests, and crosses over both parties.
To have him as the Chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee is the choice of....Mitch McConnell vs. Mark Warner (D-VA) who had Sen.Richard Burr (R-NC) as his... b—tch, and then our cleaning house intel apparat replaced Burr with Rubio. Which should not be a permanent thing.
The Romney wing with the sugar wing, with the illegal labor express— all fits the pattern of that kind of repub.
So did Mark Levin. Rubio deceived many, including me.
