Paul Says Rubio Should Resign

December 21, 2015 · 7:08 am ET · 8 Comments

Sen. Rand Paul told CNN that Sen. Marco Rubio should resign since he doesn’t show up to cast votes in the Senate.

Said Paul: “Well, you know, the difference between Marco Rubio and I is, I show up for work. And we had the biggest vote of the whole year, voting on a trillion dollars worth of spending, and he didn’t show up. So, yes, I think he ought to resign or give his pay back to the taxpayer.”
