Marco Rubio calls his constituents "Rude and Stupid"

Marco Rubio Says People ‘Get Rude And Stupid’ At Town Halls
The Florida Republican says that’s why he won’t be holding any.

When a constituent confronted Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) Thursday about why he wasn’t holding a town hall event during this week’s congressional recess, Rubio gave what seemed an honest answer.

“I don’t know man, because town halls, people get rude and stupid ― on both sides,” the senator told the man.

A community organizer for the Florida chapter of the Service Employees International Union tweeted a video of the encounter, which happened in a lecture hall at Florida International University, where Rubio teaches a class. The questioner appears to be Rafael Velasquez, a member of the Florida Democratic party’s board of trustees.

Aren't the Republicans special little snowflakes?

1. I think it is time to drop the term 'snowflakes'

Snowflakes are gentle, beautiful things. Each unique. Republicans are evil turds. Walk in lockstep, leading us to the slippery slope down to the Bowels of Hell. When was the last time a snowflake did that for you??

8. Truth!!!!

Actually was going to post that Marco was a little turd!

[Angry Dragon]

18. HE IS!

[KingCharlemagne]

25. He may not be a turd, but he sure is a brown-noser. - nt

[Angry Dragon]

19. HE IS!

2. Someone might ask him why he wrote a bill that prevented ACA from being successful beyond what was

Or why the bill made it impossible for ACA to fulfill its promises long term.

3. The Democrats should have a long list by now. Rubio can't handle the job.

Lets go for his seat too. He is telling his constituents he can't cope.

10. Let's go for his seat? He said he hated the job and still was just reelected

He's not up till 2024. That train left the tracks.

11. That is twice you posted that today, yeoman6987.

Is that the theme for today? There is nothing we can do?

[BeckyDem]

13. We are seeing things differently. I see a clear ready made by his constituents

political opportunity for taking his seat. He is too stupid to read the writing on the wall and we do not have to wait until 2024. He doesn't know how to deal with the angst his people feel. So he insults them, dismisses them. It doesn't take a lot of time and money to field the voters there, they're telling you what they think of him. Use his own words against him, find a challenger who with an honest message through OP'Eds writes in the local press. Should Rubio Resign? He Sounds Unprepared to Lead. See what the response is, the Democrats need to be aggressive and not let these opportunities slide by. You cull voters, in this case they sound ripe for the taking. We have nothing to lose by trying.

[Kingofalldems]

14. I think the poster you responded to was being dismissive and insulting.

He is saying there is nothing we can do--so too bad, IMO.

As you may note in my response it is the second time today.

[BeckyDem]

15. That's his or her opinion. Me, I want to get ready to kick their ass

to the curb so bad, they'll be afraid to put up a challenger. How much closer to fascism do we want to get? The Republicans in power now, we must make clear, they're supporting a white supremacist agenda, NOT Democrats. That is un-American and we should not be shy about our stand against it. Sorry for the rant, I can't take it and its only a month in. Members of the press were singled out to be excluded today, enough!

[Kingofalldems]

16. I agree 100%.

[BeckyDem]

17. Thank you.

[Angry Dragon]

20. He gets a 8 year term??

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

23. My thought too

[yeoman6987]

27. Sorry 2022.

[Angry Dragon]

28. thank you

[NightWatcher]

4. Well, they voted for him

[BlueStater]

5. He might be right about them being stupid.

I mean, they reelected him, didn't they?

[Orrex]

22. Proof.

[moriah]

6. To be fair, he also called himself rude and stupid.

Glad he could make that admission. The first step is admitting you have a problem....

[lpbk2713]

7. Sounds like a good assessment of anyone who voted for him.

He's walking proof of be careful what you wish for, you might just get it.

[Dem2]

9. Wimp

He should never have run after losing the primary.

[global1]

12. Oh - So It's Okay For Him To Be Rude And Stupid....

Why do people keep voting for these idiots?

[brooklynite]

21. Coincidentally, no meetings planned with President Trump?

[GoCubsGo]

24. Well, only the ones who just re-elected you, you jackass.

Now you know what he really thinks of you....

[Turbineguy]

26. Yeah,

That's about right.
