There is a very good reason that so many conservatives don't trust Marco Rubio. Some would have you believe it was youthful naivete and inexperience that allowed him to be compromised by the Gang of Eight. I don't think so. I think he was offered money and power and immediately caved. Donald Trump's Senior Policy Adviser, Stephen Miller, is telling a story about Marco Rubio and how he treated an ICE officer during the Gang of Eight's manipulations and it is revealing. Not in a good way either. Miller was the communications director for Sen. Jeff Sessions, so he was there and knows how it went down. Rubio's treatment of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) union president Chris Crane, who represents thousands of ICE officers, was simply disgraceful. He was at a meeting where Schumer was speaking with Rubio at his side and Crane wanted to ask a question. He repeatedly asked to be recognized and Schumer wouldn't do so. He eventually had Crane, an ICE agent and a Marine, removed from the meeting. Rubio stood there, stone faced and did nothing. Nothing except break every promise he had made to Crane and America about border security and Amnesty.
From Breitbart:
On today's program of Breitbart News Daily, Donald Trump's Senior Policy Adviser, Stephen Miller, shared his never-before publicly discussed insights into Sen. Marco Rubio's duplicitous conduct during his push to get the Gang of Eight bill through the Senate.
At that time, Miller served as the communications director for the man who organized opposition to the bill, Senator Sen. Jeff Sessions. Miller recalled how throughout the Gang of Eight push, Sen. Rubio "directly deceived" immigration law enforcement and the American people.
Miller recounted one story in particular about Rubio's treatment of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) union president Chris Crane, who represents thousands of ICE officers. At the time, Crane slammed Rubio for having “directly misled law enforcement." In his Congressional testimony, Crane said, "Never before have I seen such contempt for law enforcement officers as what I've seen from the Gang of Eight."
For the first time ever, Stephen Miller explained exactly what Rubio did to Chris Crane and how he had deceived the nation's ICE officers.
Before that infamous meeting, Crane secured a meeting with Rubio after numerous attempts. He wanted to bring a rep from Sessions' office who knew the legalities of the situation for backup, but Rubio wouldn't allow it. Rubio assured Crane that illegal aliens would not be legalized and would not get welfare and food stamps. He promised him resources for the 7,000 ICE agents Crane represented. Rubio lied and broke every one of those promises. He schmoozed with La Raza, the Chamber of Commerce, Barack Obama and every pro-immigration group out there. He still refers to a 'pathway to citizenship'. That's Amnesty. Rubio is adept in covering up what he really believes and what he really intends. He is an establishment shill. The only two who aren't are Trump and Cruz. So, you can see why I find the polls suddenly showing Rubio surging as suspect. You couldn't trust Rubio then, you can't trust him now.
Look Marco Rubio is a deceitful little popinjay with more ambition than good sense. I am hopeful that most people see through him enough to keep him in a distant second or third position.
I agree. Rubio’s an amateur. At a time like this—we need a PRO!
The Rube is the latest RINO rodent to pop bis head up to get whacked.
Thank God the GOP(e) is running out of Moles.
I am sure that Cruz and Sessions would vouch for Miller's comments and account of what happened. Rubio is a snake and a liar, not Miller who is exposing what Rubio really is.
What you said, +1.
Thanks for the headsup.
“Anyone who would work for Trump’s campaign is a liar.”
Do you have some strange kind mutant strain of TDS, or do you just get off randomly insulting anyone who would dare association with a candidate you don’t approve of.
And, if “anyone who would work for Trump’s campaign is a liar,” what does that make the underhanded sleaze-bags who work for Cruz?
“Rubio and Schumer held a meeting where Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) union president Chris Crane was present and tried to ask a question and was rebuffed and eventually removed from the meeting.”
That’s clear. Thanks for summarizing.
No, demshateGod simply hates Trump.
Who is next at bat in the GOP bullpen?
Cruz is a bigger threat to Trump, possibly the only threat at this point, although again Krispy Kreme has done surprisingly well in the debates IMO.
Howdy Doody might poll well in New Hampshire but he won't do jack in S.C. or anywhere else in the south, so he's just trying to muddle things to benefit The Jebster... speaking of which, what can one say?
Trump gets the nomination so long as he speaks with clarity and knocks off the persona of insulting people, etc, although he's right on when he reiterates that the country is being "run by stupid people". Not exactly right, but on the other hand not far from right.
So this IS the bombshell they were afraid to release before the NH primary? I guess since Rubio imploded they released it because after, no one will care.
So did YOU put “bombshell” in ALLCAPS? Like it was really a bombshell or something? Did the Earth move for you?
Does anything ever embarrass you?
I have to to get this in. I predicted over the weekend that Rush would be on today shilling for Rubio and then Sean right after him. So far I am batting 1000. I had to turn Rush off. :-)
“Where is the bombshell story about Ted Cruz that Breitbart is allegedly sitting on?
Or was it just clickbait- like the Blaze?”
After the New Hampshire primary vote.
Haven’t been listening too closely, but I thought he hit on the ‘canned speech’ charge pretty well.
Rubio’s duplicity is well known going back to 2013 when Trump was pushing for something like the Gang of 8. I’m just saying anyone who works for Trump’s campaign has no character. Exposing Rubio while Miller obfuscates his boss’s record makes him as disingenuous as the typical FR Trumpbot.
You’re illustrating my point perfectly.
Well, see, the difference is that when you claim that anyone who would work for Trump is a liar, you have no evidence to back up what you’re saying.
When I say that underhanded sleaze-bags work for Cruz, I can point to the “Voter Violation” mailing and cheating Ben Carson out of votes in Iowa dirty tricks as illustrations.
