Senator Marco Rubio was slammed as 'pathetically weak' Wednesday night as parents and victims of the massacre in Parkland, Florida, took the stage to confront him at a Town Hall meeting.

Rubio received a chorus of boos when he said that a ban on assault weapons would not have prevented the fatal shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.

The Town Hall meeting was hosted by CNN's Jake Tapper, who noted at the beginning that President Donald Trump and Florida Governor Rick Scott both denied requests to attend.

He’s an idiot to most of you no matter what he does so he probably thinks ### you.

BTW, anybody see the football player calling for God in the country again or do we just like to bash them?

He is no friend of Donald J. Trump, just another “weasely” politician.

We need to elect more people like Trump and not like Rubio.

Take this bull by the horns and fully support the NRA and what they stand for! Proud to have NRA stickers on my vehicles. Will gladly defend standing up for the 2nd Amendment. They haven’t learned how to stand up to these bullies?

Well it will all be settled when he comes up for reelection. My money is always on the incumbent.

Little Marco should have known better than trusting CNN. Oh well, he’ll start bashing Trump again to get on their good side.

Scripted by CNN, what did he think would happen? If he still does not know who his enemies are, he is not presidential material.

“And I will support a law that takes that right away.” - Marco Rubio

This statement, right here, is EXACTLY why we do have the SECOND AMENDMENT and why we MUST fully REPEAL the Seventeenth Amendment.

I did NOT enlist in our Marine Corps at the age of 18 just to sit back and watch our country become a Third World Communist Sh*thole and don’t know of anybody who did.

Marco Rubio should immediately RESIGN from the United States Senate. He has proven that his own Oath of Office is meaningless and he is NOT worthy to remain in this position.

Why do we always allow the left to define the terms. “Assault weapons ban”, first of all they are not weapons, they are “firearms”, they only become “weapons” when the firearms user intends them to be so. Firearms only become “assault weapons” when the user “assaults” people with them, the user commits assault and the firearm becomes a weapon. We start the conversation behind the 8 ball already because we allows the leftist narrative to go unchecked.

At least Rubio showed up. He listened to the criticism. He agreed with them when he could and stated clearly when and why he disagreed with them. It’s a shame when honesty is called ‘pathetically weak’.

You never know with Rubio. He may be patting himself on the back. I’m just grateful he isn’t the President.

War is peace
Slavery is freedom
Standing for something is weak

I had a supervisor once that I despised...and he didn’t like me. Before I would go in for any kind of private meeting with him I would script mentally what he was going to say/ask me and then exactly what my response would be. If these politicians were not weasally they would all do the same before appearing on any leftist show and would have an appropriate response for all their stupid biased questions.

He knew what was going to happen - he had the balls to let them take their shots and show their stripes.
