Sorry but he didn't reimburse the GOP. He said he paid it directly to AMEX and has not produced any records to prove it.
There are also serious questions about political action committees he set up with most of the money donated going to "expenses" and salaries (including family members) with very little going to the candidates.
Give a minute and I will see if I can find the link for the document of research.
If the only proof that Sen. Rubio paid for these expenses is his word and those of his supportrs, I don’t believe it. Rubio is a proven liar. Why not charge these personal bills on his private credit card?
“Rubio made notes on what he spent on personal expenses, and reimbursed the GOP in full every month when the bill came in. It doesn’t sound very scandalous to me.”

Amntn, I agree with you that there is something about this which does not pass the smell test. An accountant auditing this would insist upon supporting documentation and demand to see the accounting for all the expenditures related to these credit card charges...and that would include a breakdown of ALL debits and credits and documentation explaining each item as well as a proper “reconciliation”.
As to those who say “if the Florida Republican Party was OK with this, I’m OK with it”, they should know that Rubio, in a very real sense, WAS the Republican Party.
The credit card company used his credit to establish limit and was billed directly to him is my understanding. Any non-personal items he itemized for a refund from Florida GOP.
He paid directly to AMEX since he got the bill.
