Sen. Marco Rubio on Trump arraignment: ‘we are going to regret this day for a very long time’
Fox News ^ | April 4, 2023 | Bradford Betz

Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., took to Twitter on Tuesday to share his thoughts on the arraignment of Donald Trump in New York City, following the former president’s indictment last week.

Rubio called Trump’s indictment and arraignment "a bad day for all of us" whether you like the former president or not.

"Today, American politics crosses a line that it's never going to come back from," Rubio said. "After today, especially on the basis of how ridiculous these charges are."

Rubio argued that the case will give the green light to every prosecutor in the U.S. – whether Republican or Democrat – to go after someone in the opposing party.

"What's gonna stop them? Nothing's gonna stop them. Because today we set a new normal. Today, we set the new normal that if you really want to take someone down, nothing should stop you," Rubio said. "You should be able to manipulate the law anyway you want to charge someone."

What do you mean “WE”? Don’t you mean THEY?

IOW, Trump’s approval rating has rocketed so high after this sham, it’ll be impossible for Rubio to jump into the primary race.

I rarely agree with ‘Little Marco’ on anything, but I do agree with him on this.

Hey Rubio. We live in a Republic. You are a representative. Do something.

Rubio is MUCH more “they” than he ever thought about being “us”.

Campaign finance law should be entirely tossed out by the Supreme Court.

It was enacted back in the 1970’s when the Democrats struggled to raise $2 million.

Rubio, you are GOPE, so you aren’t supporting your home team, by saying this.

Marco, I know you are concerned conservatives will strike back your liberal heroes, in the same way.

He’s not going to run anyhow. Good some Republicans are speaking out.

My congressman finally spoke out against this.

No new federal money for New York, City or State.

Gov. Hochmut can issue a pardon.

I agree....Unfortunately, the media has to write this up as it happens...speculation means nothing. It has to be factual.

Bragg will lose his license and likely has already made a deal with Schumer and Pelosi....cuz only a fool would go to these lengths in the interest of J U S T I C E.

"What's gonna stop them? Nothing's gonna stop them.

Open an investigation, Marco. Subpoena Fat Alvin. You're a United States Senator ... you're not exactly powerless.

It should mean "WE" - Republican DAs better be getting ready to charge Hunter, Joe, Nancy, Hillary, anyone and everyone currently cheering Trump's persecution.
