Florida Sen. Marco Rubio decried Donald Trump's baiting and "offensive" rhetoric Saturday morning, following an eruption of violence at an event for the GOP front-runner in Chicago the previous night.
"I think we also have to look at the rhetoric coming from the front-runner in the presidential campaign," Rubio told reporters in Largo, Florida. "This is a man who, in rallies, has told his supporters to basically beat up the people who are in the crowd and he will pay their legal fees. Someone who has basically encouraged people in the audience to rough up anyone who stands up and says something he doesn't like."

When asked if he would still back the eventual Republican nominee if it was Donald Trump, Rubio responded: "I don't know."
"I still at this moment continue and intend to support the Republican nominee, but, getting harder every day," he said. An email sent out by his campaign later Saturday referred to the scenes from the cancelled Chicago rally as something "we would see in a third-world country."

I agree. Cruz is miles ahead of Rubio (or Kasich).
oh yes, I agree Cruz is by far the worst scumbag...
Well said FRiend, well said indeed.
What those disrupters and rioters are going to discover far too late, is that there is a tipping point for We The People, this Silent Majority that is silent no more, and there will be some future (perhaps near future) event of public violence that will be met with equal and greater violence in return, and there will be the usual leftist shrieks of ‘racism’ and/or ‘intolerance’ and all of their other stinking pile of lies, and the response will be a full throated roar from real Americans consisting of just five words: “SELF DEFENSE!! COME GET SOME!” and the combined forces of the Enemy Within will discover personally what it means to be looking down the wrong end of the Second Amendment, a moment before they are dispatched to Hell where they came from, and where they belong.
The millions of Americans who have rallied behind Donald Trump now see how the fascist UniParty in Washington has made common cause with all of the left wing groups in addition to the terrorists invading and infiltrating our society on an hourly basis. Some alleged conservatives have been duped and think that the GOP that wants to select our candidate for us is the same GOP that Reagan led to victory in 1980. Nothing could be further from the truth. Likewise, the ‘RAT party is a clone of the Communist Party in the USA, the Party of Henry ‘Scoop’ Jackson, Hubert Humphrey (who was a strong defender of the 2nd Amendment btw) is dead and has been dead for decades.
The left (and the powers that be) want violence, they’ve always wanted violence, and by God if they keep pushing, they’re gonna get it in spades.
“They wanted violence” will be a fine collective epitaph.
Cabana Boy, just do as you’re told and get me another daquiri.
Yikes. I insulted my own cats.
Only weak minded voters would care who Marco supports. Years ago when I was a county committee member in the Virginia Republican Party, I had to pledge to support the party’s candidates. The penalty for not backing them was to be shown the exit door. I suggest that Marco resign from the party and join the party he really loves - the crony capitalist communist party.
Little Marco has no intention of supporting Trump. His pee pee insult backfired in his face. He think Trump make him do it.
You would be right to question what Cruz might do on, say, immigration—but you absolutely know what Rubio would do.
Kasich has become pretty much a social justice lefty over the last decade.
And they are all somewhat slimy pols (like pretty much everyone running at this level).
then there is hillary...... she has become vulnerable to disruption.
she’s just a girl and will cry
Note to Rubio: Go home and sell your used cars, your toast.
Without little Marco’s support, Trump is doing just fine or even better. Little Marcos tiny hands better dig himself out of the deep hole
Bwahahahaha!
Trump needs Rubio’s support like he needs a cold sore. Bernie’s endorsement would yield more supporters.
Rubio will do Trump more good by campaigning for Hillary. Then we can all laugh & laugh & ........
What a sight that will be to see: Rubio, McCain, Graham, & Romney on the stage with Hillary, drooling & fawning about what a great American she is. That will surely end the GOP as we know it, & that would be a very good thing.
Maybe Rubio will switch parties, becoming a Democrat. That would be rich.
Hey Marco FoamBoy, the voters feel the same way about you.
Get ready to be schooled on Tuesday at Trump University
Win or lose, all of our candidates need to focus on the end battle, defeating Hillary or whoever (assuming justice might for once be exercised by this administration) is the Democratic nominee. Comments like this add fuel to the MSM stories of division within the Republican Party.
Agree.
It’s getting harder every day to see Little Marco, he’s shrinking so much!
“We the People”, as defined by you, are a minority of the country. “The people” have never ruled in this country and never will.
That just may be about to change FRiend.
