Marco Rubio is an idiot.

Senator Marco Rubio of Florida, a Republican, said late Sunday morning that the information he had received led him to believe that Pulse had been targeted because it was a gay nightclub.

If “this is something inspired by radical ideology, then I think common sense tells you that he targeted the gay community because of the views that exist in the radical Islamic community about the gay community,” Mr. Rubio said on CNN, referring to the gunman, whom law enforcement officials have identified as Omar Mateen.

Mr. Rubio, who was a candidate for the Republican presidential nomination, opposes same-sex marriage. On Sunday, he condemned the targeting of gays and lesbians for acts of violence.

for not seeing any connection between his beliefs and anti LGBT violence.

Being a dick and opposing same sex marriage is morally shitty and bankrupt, but thinking that homosexuality is a capital offense is worse.

during that presser. Seemed like he could care less and he used the opportunity to promote himself and his supposed high level ties.
