Conservative icon Phyllis Shlafly said freshman Senator Marco Rubio should be disqualified from the presidential race for lying to conservatives in English and saying something entirely different on Spanish language television.
Marco Rubio told Univision host Jorge Ramos that Obama's amnesty could not be terminated because people were already benefiting from it.
Breitbart.com reported:
Phyllis Schlafly, architect of the modern conservative movement and tireless opponent of mass immigration, says GOP hopeful Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) should be disqualified from the race for dishonestly saying one thing about amnesty in English and another in Spanish.
"If Jeb's candidacy falters despite the $114 million he raised, the establishment's next choices, Sen. Marco Rubio and Ohio Gov. John Kasich, have basically similar views," she wrote in her Monday World Net Daily column:
Kasich said the 12 million illegals should be "legalized once we find out who they are," and Rubio said Obama's executive amnesty "can't be terminated because there are already people benefiting from it."
Rubio's statement was made in Spanish on the Spanish-language network Univision, which is reason enough to eliminate him from serious consideration. When somebody is running for president of the United States, why should we have to get somebody to translate his remarks into English?
Why indeed? Bilingualism has corroded political discourse rather than strengthened it. Lying in a different language is a becoming bipartisan pastime. Democratic Rep. Luis Gutiérrez mocked Kathryn Steinle's death during a Spanish Telemundo interview, calling it a "little thing." Steinle was allegedly murdered by an illegal alien. Gutierrez exploded with rage when an expert immigration witness calmly called him out during a congressional hearing.

Rubio is a terrible Manchurian candidate and Rush is either a naive dupe or he has gone over to the other side.
Agree with all your points.
Ouuuuuch!
Right on Phyllis!!!
Good Old Jim Hoft - this is the second day in a row he has taken an old story on Rubio and posted it implying it is current. I applaud Jim for a successful website, but at some point just post an editorial and quit posting old stories as news.
Since when is lying a disqualifier?
Let's shine the light on the cockroach.
I think it’s only when you are caught and Republican.
LOL!
Oh, sorry, here it is for non rubio supporters.
Rubio is a dreamer, he dreams of being the first Hispanic President, not the president of North Americans. He is all about the race and legalizing the invaders.
I`d prefer getting the word out and letting the dupes who would vote for this guy know what he said via his actual words with translation.
Lying is the new ‘truth’ in American politics.
PING
Yeah Romney’s grandson...
Rubio is a backstabber
Never give more knives to backstabbers
Hey Phyllis!
Why do you believe Trump will do anything to further the Pro-Life agenda?
Didn’t you hear Trump promote “touchback amnesty”?
Agree...
How many times do conservatives have to get stabbed in the back by the Establishment Rats.
