Rubio Sparks Conservative Civil War

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) “has found himself in a spot he’s not used to: the target of conservative ire,” Kate Nocera reports.

“The one-time Tea Party hero and Republican face of the Senate’s bipartisan immigration legislation has been combating negative press from conservative media outlets, like Breitbart News, since the moment the bill was introduced.”

“But the opposition’s singular focus on Rubio has confounded some in Republican circles, who believe the GOP infighting is counterproductive, dangerous for the party’s image, and unnecessarily harsh toward a young conservative star who could be the next Republican president.”
