Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL)80% released a statement Friday night attacking rival Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump for a statement made during his campaign announcement speech 16 days ago.
Rubio’s statement reads:
Trump’s comments are not just offensive and inaccurate, but also divisive. Our next president needs to be someone who brings Americans together – not someone who continues to divide. Our broken immigration system is something that needs to be solved, and comments like this move us further from – not closer to – a solution. We need leaders who offer serious solutions to secure our border and fix our broken immigration system.
The portion of Trump’s speech that has generated outrage amongst pro-amnesty liberal activists called out Mexico for the high number of illegal immigrants crossing the U.S. southern border who go on to commit violent crimes against U.S. citizens.
“When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best,” he said. “They’re sending people that have lots of problems… they’re bringing drugs, they’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.”

At least Trump isn’t a lying weasel like Rubio.
“unserious”
As soon as Rubio leave the bedroom
of conservative-backstabber Bishop Romney,
the attacks against Mr. Trump (patriot) begin.
Is anyone really surprised?
Rubio still thinks everyone who speaks Spanish should be an “American”. He plans to bring everyone here to the USA.
Oh I get it now, speaking the truth is now “being divisive”. Time to go away Rubio.
Rubio, like Jeb, is All In with the libs.
Trump is drawing out the RINOs. Keep it up Donald!! Let’s see the last man standing. Rubio, your goose is cooked. Now, lets see who wants to join you.
Of course M. Rubio would jump in. He has been for illegals and amnesty from the start. Only while running for the Senate did he strongly claim to oppose amnesty. And turned out he lied to the voters to get elected. Good for Ann Coulter for reminding us of this.
nathanbedford: “Let’s see how that brings America together.”
I could be wrong, but I think I’m sensing a slight bit of sarcasm there...
FoxNews poll has Trump in the lead, with Bush about a 1/2% behind him.
Trump is stepping on toes and ‘trumping’ on the PC-go-along-to-get-along Pubbie elites.
Trump is a refreshing change from the typical same-ole politicians.
When this guy got in the Senate and he was all the rage and even being talked about as VP for Romney, something hit me in the gut that he was too slick by half. I haven't trusted him since. Then something surfaced about a close friend that got into a lot of financial trouble and I can't remember the details. That nixed it for me.
He is in way over his head...
+1
When Rubio announced his candidacy for the presidency, he didn’t choose an historical iconic symbol that exalted America, but one that exalted HIS immigrant experience:
“Rubio’s soaring rhetoric and the venue he chose – the iconic Freedom Tower, known as the “Ellis Island of the South” – underscore the intensely personal nature of his campaign, an effort that’s as much about biography as it is about ideas and inspiration.”
When a politician emphasizes our “broken immigration system” rather than our “UNENFORCED immigration system” — that says all you need to know about that politician.
I do believe the Donald is going to mess up the Republicans and then pull out in an effort to elect Hillary. Perot did it for Bill. The Donald is doing it for Hitlerly.
Yet I have still seen support for this jerk here on FR from time to time. Go figure.
Well said.
Was this statement a result of his “sleepover” with Romney? Sounds like something Mitt would say.
Just a few words....Donald Trump is right on target. And....so is Ted Cruz!!! The truth may hurt....but, the truth is still the truth!!!
