I read the article, looked for a time frame. The best I could tell it must have been in 2012 or 2013. Shouldn’t we have heard about this before now? I am always concerned, regardless of the candidate, when a last minute bomb is dropped, which makes me question the accuracy and purpose. This accusation is important and if the ICE agents were treated in this manner it should have been just as important to the public then as it is the eve before a major primary.
Breitbart has been reporting this for a few weeks at least. The story didn’t break today. What’s different now is that Druge has it as his headline and that has Marco Amnestio squealing like a stuck pig.
Yes. We should ask Breitbart about the timing.
The prospect of this coming out may be the reason Rubio skipped the conference the other night.
This is not the first time I’ve heard about this.
We heard about it before, just like we heard of the MANY slurs Rubio and his handlers used against all of us. Memories are short, sadly, which people like Rubio count on.
The story about Crane is backed up on the ICE website.
Breitbart reports: Senior Senate Staffer Reveals the Marco Rubio Story You’ve Never Heard
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.

And from 2013: ICE union president: Rubio ‘directly misled law enforcement’
“Senator Rubio left unchanged legislation that he himself admitted to us in private was detrimentally flawed and must be changed,” Crane said. “Legislation written behind closed doors by handpicked special interest groups which put their political agendas and financial gains before sound and effective law and the welfare and safety of the American public. As a result, the 1,200 page substitute bill before the Senate will provide instant legalization and a path to citizenship to gang members and other dangerous criminal aliens, and handcuff ICE officers from enforcing immigration laws in the future. It provides no means of effectively enforcing visa overstays which account for almost half of the nation’s illegal immigration crisis.”
You are neglecting to recognize that now is not "then;" were it not for Trump, we would still be fat dumb, happy and believing the slick Rubio con-man.
The national awareness has been shaken up big time in the interim.
