Rubio to Trump: Your comments give white supremacists "a win"
Axios ^ | 8/15/2017 | Shane Shavitsky

Sen. Marco Rubio issued a statement via Twitter on Tuesday denouncing President Trump's repeated statements that "many sides" were responsible for this weekend's violence in Charlottesville during his press conference this afternoon, telling Trump that spreading the blame for the events would allow white supremacists to count it "as a win."

These anti-Trump people in the GOP make me want to vomit.

The President said that there was violence on all sides and he was right, he told the truth, and these spineless wimps know it’s the truth.

>It’s just incredible to see the Republican party supporting violent leftists who are calling for the extermination of whites and Jews and who are rioting all over the country. This is what the party of Lincoln and Reagan has become?! Communist sympathizers??!!

That’s a great point. Make sure you call them communists and Communist Sympathizers. It doesn’t bother the left to be a called a commie, but the GOP is the party of anti-communism. Stick it to them where it hurts.

“Rubio blamed Trump when violent Democrats attacked his fellow Republicans in Chicago.”

/

Yes, he sure did.

Thanks for your input sweaty little Marco. Looking forward to the big Rubio2020 roll-out and the end of your political career.

GEORGE WASHINGTON warned us against self-serving legislators like RUBIO.

It’s looking like the driver was part of the AntiFa.
In Rubio’s world that would be unfortunate, as it doesn’t fit his Democratic Goober smooching posturing for another run at Prez.

And to think, during the primary season, Rush called little Marco a “full-throated conservative.”

Sure he is, Rush. Sure he is.

OK, Rubio — who are the so-called white supremacists who organized the protest? Let’s find out who organized the protest and who tried to hijack it.

Haven't seen that.

He hasn't been charged with premeditated murder yet, and he has a history of schizophrenia, and someone hit his car as he was driving toward the crowd... so it's not looking certain that they'll be able to convict on anything.

If there were just alt-right people there, why were they fighting each other?

Funny how ANTIFA and BLM are never mentioned, only “white supremacists”

I heard Juan Williams on the radio; he sounded like he was transgendering on the air.

Did you SEE Juan Williams tonight on "The Five"?? He looked like he was transgendering on live TV! :-D

Trump blamed both sides for the violence and he blamed the individual thug for the murder.

Rubio takes the side of the violent racist Antifa thugs.

Senator Rubio's statements on twitter are outrageous, and should be cause for censure by his colleagues. Rubio wrote:

"The organizers of events which inspired & led to #charlottesvilleterroristattack are 100% to blame for a number of reasons. They are adherents of an evil ideology which argues certain people are inferior because of race, ethnicity or nation of origin. When entire movement built on anger & hatred towards people different than you, it justifies & ultimately leads to violence against them"

Source: Sen. Rubio Twitter Account

Nothing justifies violence against a group of people, unless they are themselves doing something violent. Nothing in state or federal law allows violence against a group of citizens just because they hold unpopular, stupid, or even repugnant opinions, or are "adherents of an evil ideology."

Senator Rubio didn't think through his outrageous statement enough to realize that he is, in effect, calling for violence against any group that some other Americans believe is "built on anger and hatred towards people different than you." That's an unacceptable statement for a member of the Senate to make.
