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."

It’s pretty apparent the media wants to see this violence and chaos......they get their stories,ratings go up, opportunities to shine in front of the camera,...and the politicians love it because they can chime in and get exposure.

Stupid public can’t see they’re being used to showcase the very people they are opposing on both sides.

Rubio in his tweets today stated that violence against free speech was justified simply because you disagree with it.

He needs to resign.

Trump was brilliant. He has essentially put the left on notice that they will be held responsible for their violence. I expect the federal civil rights investigation is not going to go the way the left hopes.

” it justifies & ultimately leads to violence against them”

Justifies violence??? He took an oath of office to support and defend the Constitution. I hope he’s getting blasted on twitter.

Even if this were true (which it isn't) are we to sacrifice telling the truth to that which is politically expedient?

I'm getting real tired of these dickbags.

Little Marco seems to have forgotten he is not dealing with law abiding conservatives. The left is never more happy when they are being violent.

“Rubio carrying water for ANTIFA.”

That is how I see it. The people know better.

“Little Marco at it again, huh? FUMR!”

Is this not the clown that Rush Limbaugh was supporting? I bet Rush will not air this on his show.

Blaming only one side allows Anti-fa to get away with their own and ongoing campaign of fascist violence and speech suppression. Violence which they always instigate themselves as was the case in Berkeley and countless other ‘protest’ in the last few years.

Antifa is a terrorist organization Rubio, they had anyone to the right of Nancy Pelosi including some of their own members, they have branches on every major collage campuses and probably number in the thousands if not a 100 thousand leftist collage indoctrinated youth.

The White nationalist and Neo-NAZI’s probably don’t have more than a few hundred in the whole country and this is the first we’ve heard from them in any real capaisty in decades.

Use your head Rubio, don’t let your hate for the president blind you to what is going on. Antifa is the only real threat.

The other side were violent communists that is Antifa’s purpose - violence. Rubio is giving communist thugs a win. Trump condemned all extremists.

Rubio just endangered all of us, saying violence is justified.

He did.

Saying it’s okay to beat people with sticks or punch women in the face (as ANTIFA does wherever it goes) because mean words are spoken is a threat to the Constitutional right to free speech as well.

Little Marco was another McCain/Romney fraud candidate.

Trump was the only one running with balls and we’ve saw one of the best performances at a press conference in our lifetime today. Truly amazing.

So Rubio actually is saying that if 10 KKK hold a rally somewhere, illegal violence is justified. Is he insane? A COURT issued a Freedom of Speech ruling permitting the Charlottesville rally. Rubio is calling for mob violence?

Trump is right and the folks that voted for him know it.

Trump brilliantly has positioned the Left/MSM as siding with the communist ANTIFA folks.

Was a genius move and took true courage.

Proud of our POTUS and proud I voted for a man of conviction.


Bump.
