Marco Rubio Pushed for Immigration Reform With Conservative Media
New York Times ^ | Jason Horowitz

Posted on 02/27/2016 6:33:55 PM PST by Windy City Conservative

A few weeks after Senator Marco Rubio joined a bipartisan push for an immigration overhaul in 2013, he arrived alongside Senator Chuck Schumer at the executive dining room of News Corporation’s Manhattan headquarters for dinner.

Their mission was to persuade Rupert Murdoch, the owner of the media empire, and Roger Ailes, the chairman and chief executive of its Fox News division, to keep the network’s on-air personalities from savaging the legislation and give it a fighting chance at survival.

Mr. Murdoch, an advocate of immigration reform, and Mr. Ailes, his top lieutenant and the most powerful man in conservative television, agreed at the Jan. 17, 2013, meeting to give the senators some breathing room.

Marco and the Gang of 8 colluded with Fox News to go easy on amnesty and slant their news coverage. They tried to get Rush Limbaugh and Mark Levin to go along, and from my memory it seems they did to a point.

Easy to see now why Cruz prefers Marco Amnestio to Trump.

This is an important article to read, in full. It gives you the blueprint on how the elites worked to SLANT all the news coverage on immigration coming off the 2012 elections....Rush & Levin were INVOLVED in this disgraceful scam to bring in 30 million third world parasites & replace what’s left of the American voting public & workforce with a NEW people who would vote with the democratic party for 50 years.

The latest from David Stockman -

What Marco Rubio is all about is Warfare State republicanism. When he talks about restoring American Greatness it is through the agency of Imperial Washington. He has no kinship with Harding, Coolidge or Eisenhower. None of them were intent on searching the earth for monsters to destroy, as does Rubio in every single speech.

And make no mistake. Every time this naïve smart aleck chastises Obama for weak leadership and alleged failure to get the job forcefully done in Syria, Libya, Iraq, Yemen and countless elsewheres, the ghost of John Quincy Adams should be hollering in his grave. Stalking the globe for monsters to destroy is exactly what this wanna be little Napoléon is all about.

I hardly miss a minute of Rush and recall no support for the gang of 8 proposal...other than the Rubio interview mentioned (in which Rubio deceived, imho).

Rush doesn’t endorse in primaries, but he’s clearly favors Trump or Cruz over Marco and sees comprehensive immigration reform as Dem voter recruitment, and nothing more. Ditto Levin as far as I can tell.

I do remember Hannity basically conceding the Gang’s point. Sean still refuses to nail Rubio on the point, letting him weasel out of a definitive answer.

As the article says, what Rubio sought from conservative media was LESS COVERAGE of immigration issues ( so the bill could move forward quietly. As I recall, “conservative” media bigwigs played along for awhile

[in 2013] Mr. Rubio publicly and privately worked to assuage the fears of Mr. Limbaugh, who on air called him a “thoroughbred conservative”

Is that the same as a full-throated conservative?

Robot Rubio is a conman and amnesty pusher. If he is what is meant by a conservative, I prefer a non-conservative..

I agree this should be front page news. Maybe D. Trump can bring it up during a rally.
