Marco Rubio Rejects Wikileaks
CNN ^ | 10/19/16 | David Wright

Posted on 10/19/2016 6:58:08 AM PDT by ek_hornbeck

Florida Sen. Marco Rubio broke from many in his party when he said Wednesday that Republicans shouldn't discuss the Hillary Clinton campaign emails published by WikiLeaks, a number of which have created bad optics and real headaches for the Democratic ticket.

Rubio told CNN that "as our intelligence agencies have said, these leaks are an effort by a foreign government to interfere with our electoral process, and I will not indulge it."

His remarks were first reported by ABC News. "Further, I want to warn my fellow Republicans who may want to capitalize politically on these leaks: Today it is the Democrats. Tomorrow it could be us," he told ABC. The Florida senator -- engaged in a tough reelection fight against Democratic Rep. Patrick Murphy -- said that he "will not discuss any issue that has become public solely on the basis of WikiLeaks."

What do you expect from a guy who told the voters that he opposed amnesty,then worked with Chuck Schumer to pass an amnesty bill?

“what a naive tool”

And a worthless a$$hole! The idea that Florida voters will be returing this petulant midget turd to the Senate should offend us all.

Tomorrow it could be us

If it did happen to be 'us' then I would want to know that also. I doubt those who are 'not us' would be reciprocally dispassionate about it as Rubio.

Amazing how consistent the republicans are in not attacking Hillary. You don’t hear a word from these bastards unless it is helping Hillary and hurting Trump.

And some talk show idiot claimed Marco Polo was like Ronald Reagan

Limbaugh has been nothing more than a mouthpiece for the RNC for years. Of course he'd support an establishment candidate and oppose an outsider like Trump.

And this is the guy that good old El Rushbo told us time and time again was a “Full-throated Conservative.” Yeah, sure thing Rush.

I’ll wager Rush won’t touch this with a ten-foot pole on his program today. Instead, he’ll discuss football, the iPhone, his ice tea, Rush Revere, or some other none issue to distract us. Rush will never did his boy.

Today it is the Democrats. Tomorrow it could be us,"

That only applies if you're doing something that you shouldn't be doing when you think nobody's watching.

But if you are honorable in your public and private dealings, WikiLeaks can never have anything on you.

And this is the type of politician Mark Levin would have us vote for?

Both of them are useless.

“Is this really the best that the people of Florida can do?”

That should be the real question under discussion here. We continue to get the representation we deserve.

"“Today it is the Democrats. Tomorrow it could be us,”"

If it was one of 'us' committing a crime I would want it known, and the guy jailed

Unlike the democrats, who want it kept hidden- they're OK with crimes, if it helps them stay in power

Little Marco must have forgotten the leaks from WikiLeaks regarding the Bush administration.

I have no idea if the accusations are accurate or not but Rubio railing against WikiLeaks may be just self-serving.

>>In other words, the RNC is almost as corrupt and dirty as the DNC

Almost? The DNC is what it says it is. The GOP pretends to be one thing and then does the opposite.

Little Marco might as well go back to Cuba if he wants to live in amProgressive country so much.

On the other hand, any mention of Wikileaks by CNN is positive. The major problem is that most people don’t even know what is going on.

I just called Rubio’s office in DC. I told his aide that I was so glad not to have voted for Rubio for President because of his Wikki leaks comment. I then mentioned what a idiot Rubio is.

Y’all can leave him a message at 202-224-3041
