Time to Give Up on Marco Rubio

May 27, 2021 · 3:30 pm ET · Leave a Comment

The Orlando Sentinel editorial board says Sen. Marco Rubio’s (R-FL) opposition to a bipartisan Jan. 6 commission is the last straw and asks readers to “consider these words.”

“We need to learn as much as we can: A, because it was a shameful day — something that should never happen again — and B, because I think our enemies of this country, terrorists and others, will look to learn from that day, potentially, one day take lessons learned from it to attack us here.”

“That’s not from the Miami Herald’s editorial. That’s what Rubio himself said less than two weeks ago.”

“Sorry to say it, but Marco Rubio is beyond hope.”
