In a blistering editorial, the Sun Sentinel accused Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) “of defrauding voters for collecting a paycheck while he spends most of his time campaigning for president,” the New York Times reports.
Said the editorial: “You are paid $174,000 per year to represent us, to fight for us, to solve our problems. You are ripping us off, senator.”
First Read: “Wow. Don’t be surprised if some GOP candidates not named Jeb (John Kasich, Chris Christie) go after Rubio here.”
