The attorney supervising the recount for Senator Bill Nelson turned the tables on Rubio Wednesday morning.

Sen. Rubio tweeted what was obviously his commentary on the Florida recount – which the GOP has been suing to halt entirely – by cherry-picking a Bible verse to support his thoughts.

Watch out lil Marco Rubio, republicans don't own the bible just like they don't own the flag!

And just to quote the message in its entirety: "You shall not bear a false report; do not join your hand with a wicked man to be a malicious witness. "You shall not follow the masses in doing evil, nor shall you testify in a dispute so as to turn aside after a multitude in order to pervert justice;



Now I'm on a roll

Proverbs 6:16-19

There are six things which the LORD hates, Yes, seven which are an abomination to Him: Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, A heart that devises wicked schemes, Feet that run rapidly to evil.
A false witness who utters lies, And one who spreads strife among brothers.


Proverbs 19:5
A false witness will not go unpunished, And he who tells lies will not escape.


Proverbs 21:28
A false witness will perish, But the man who listens to the truth will speak forever.



I'll leave this here or I could speak forever!

Marco wasn't preachifyin'; he was confessin' while gloatin'.

"What is crooked cannot be made straight,"
-- means, "We done screwed yer voters and election good and proper and you cain't fix it no way, no how!"

"and you cannot count what is not there."
-- means, "Them votes is gone, suckers! Burned, lost, et by the hogs, GONE!"
