Florida newspaper: Marco Rubio should show up or resign

[Liberal_in_LA]

arco Rubio should resign from the U.S. Senate and stop "ripping off" the people of Florida, according to the Fort Lauderdale Sun Sentinel newspaper editorial board.

"By choosing to stay in the Senate and get the publicity, perks and pay that go with the position — without doing the work — you are taking advantage of us," the paper wrote in an editorial published Tuesday. "Your job is to represent Floridians in the Senate. Either do your job, Sen. Rubio, or resign it."

The Sun Sentinel said Rubio is being paid $174,000 with taxpayer money to do a job he is not doing -- while he is criticizing others for doing the same thing.

"Two weeks ago, you took to the Senate floor to excoriate federal workers at the Department of Veterans Affairs for failing to do their jobs. You said, 'there is really no other job in the country where if you don't do your job, you don't get fired,'" the paper added. "With the exception of your job, right?"

2. GOP hall pass for their own.

Those who voted this clown in should be ashamed, but only have as ashamed as the Democrats who sat out his last election and didn't vote for the other candidate.

3. Even though they are both from the same clown car..

Bush calling out Rubio for not being at work is a little hypocritical considering Bush's bro spent more time golfing than working. But Jeb doesn't remember that.

Senators missing work while running for President is pretty standard.
