Graham slams Rubio for going 'hard right'
Politico ^ | 02/02/16 | Eliza Collins

Lindsey Graham had some harsh words for Marco Rubio on Tuesday, particularly on his stance on abortion and immigration which he warned would keep women and Hispanics from joining the party.

“Marco has no exceptions for rape and incest,” the South Carolina senator said in an interview with MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.” “I think it’s going to be very hard to grow the party among women if you’re gonna tell young women, ‘If you get raped, you’ve gotta carry the child of the rapist. Most pro-life people don’t go there, that will not sell in New Hampshire.”

Graham, who dropped out of the presidential race last year and threw his support behind Jeb Bush, said he likes Rubio, but the Florida senator “has now turned hard right.”

He also criticized Rubio’s move to the right on immigration — the two had both been part of the bipartisan Gang of Eight immigration reform effort in 2013, but Rubio has since distanced himself from the legislation.

If those comments are on video expect Dondi to be carpet bombed this week with it.

Hahaha poor little Dondi.

See Marco....when they bought you, they expected you to stay bought.

My concern is this is posturing to make Rubio appear more conservative on immigration. Hope I’m wrong or it doesn’t work.

Rubio’s arrest buddy in 1990, Angel Barrios, apparently runs a gay porn website.

Angel Barrios and Flava Works

Graham has been a Jeb operative since day one.

No other reason for him to have run.

No, Dad I’ve changed Praise Gawd I’ve seen the Light! Let’s us build a Wall, Crush Obamacare... etc etc

And the stupid LIVs will fall down and worship Romeny II.

The Jebster people still think Jeb can get third place or more or 10% or more in SC.

All it does is reinforce Dondi flip flopping to suit the situation.

They certainly have pulled out all the stops in trying to rebrand Rubio as an anti-establishment, hardcore conservative.

Smoke screen. I suspect if enough people keep talking about how far right Rubio has moved, he’ll replace Cruz in people’s minds. Then if he is elected he can go back to his true RINO illegal loving self and can say with a straight face that he didn’t claim to move right, it’s everyone else who said he had.

That’s exactly what I was thinking. Don’t trust these sleazy sobs one bit.
