Following our story on Rubio’s partying days and arrest in a known gay “hookup” site, the interwebs have lit up in his defense, but not quite from where you would expect.
While CNN and Fox News have done all that they can to hide from the story, the liberal publication, the Daily Beast, has come out swinging from the trees like an angry orangutan to beat down anyone who whispers the words, “foam party.”
The defense is surprising considering that Chelsea Clinton sits on the board of IAC, the parent company of the Daily Beast.
Their tactic to protect Rubio?
It’s clear in their headline, “How Supremacists Tried to Smear Rubio with a Gay Lie.”
Ironically, the writer of the article, Asawin Suebsaeng, had to lead in with the article with two black women and Trump supporters, “Diamond” and “Silk” bringing up the allegation on CNN.
Here’s the clip:
But Asawin quickly directed to his “supremacist” storyline by saying that Rubio’s gay story could be found on a hate-site.
The writer then quickly shifted to Alex Jones to associate racists with conspiracy theorists to discredit a large swath of people.
The article was one of the most convoluted stretches to discredit that one could make.
A question remains, “why would liberals care?”
With the direct ties to Clinton, an argument could be reasonably be made that Mainstream Marco is the candidate of choice to take on Hillary in November.
Is Rubio married? Not that is matters in political relationships of convenience and mutual advantage (e.g., Clintoons).
Does Trump have to disavow Diamond and Silk now?
I care about his "Gang of 8" present.
Yes he is. She is rather attractive and usefully short. They have four children. Picture perfect family.

Yes, married to a former Dolphin’s cheerleader and has 4 kids.
Quotations are wrong- Gay”past”- there fixed it for you
Liberals care about Rubio because they know he won’t put up a fight, and will be easily beaten. They are afraid of Trump to the point where they are planning on “keeping Hillary above the fray” and have Bill and 0bama take on Trump. Of course, that just makes Hillary look like a hot house orchid, unable to stand up for herself, and in need of big strong men to do the work for her.
Rubio is married. Said he met her at a foam party on South Beach. Not sure what she would have been doing at a gay activity.
If Rubio had a “gay past,” it sure looks like he got over it. As the above comments indicate, he’s got a hot wife and four kids.
This trash is beneath FR. Stick to policy, most prominently: Has Rubio “come to Jesus” after his Gang of Eight screwup?
If Rubio wins Twitter will resonate with:
FOAM PARTY AT THE WH! WUT???
If he stays in the race , he will be asked. By the way liberal publications like the Daily Beast want questions about the sexual disposition of a candidate strictly off limits.Is America ready to learn that Hillary is a lesbian or Obama is a closeted homosexual? They are protecting Clinton and Obama.
Yeah, it’s probably a gay present, too.
Interesting that the Trump fanboys don't think anything Trump has said past 15 minutes ago matters but an allegation of something from age 18 with no other evidence since disqualifies Rubio.
I'm not a Rubio supporter; I just don't think this sort of allegation is fair to any candidate.
Apparently FR has changed, what was not allowed, is now acceptable.
That would be an interesting strategy. Trump could say to Bill "I understand you're sticking up for your wife. And your wife puts up with everything you do and stands by her man and covers up everything you do. But right now it's your wife who is running for President and not you. So send out your wife when you want my response.".
What could he say with Obama?
Married with 4 kids. Doesn’t necessarily mean anything as we’ve seen in the past but he is married.
Leftists lie. It’s who and what they are. Watch what the leftists do, not what they say.
What they say:
“The candidate we don’t want to run against is Marco Rubio. Hillary will beat Trump like a drum and that’s who we hope to face.”
What they do:
Protect Rubio from damaging criticism and fabricate smears about Trump.
Conclusion: They know as well as we do that Rubio would be a disaster in November but that Trump would destroy Clinton. Heck, analysts are already talking about New York and Mass being in play if Trump is the nominee!
Homosexuality is so common nowadays that you'll find that a lot of politicians running for office had gay friends or relatives. You need more than that if you want to put out a smear story.
Eventually, voters are going to electing out and out "out" homosexuals just to make this sort of junk story a thing of the past. You're only bringing that day closer with phony scandals.
Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
