South Miami Mayor: Marco Rubio Is An 'Idiot'

[DonViejo]

CATHERINE THOMPSON – JULY 12, 2014, 12:20 PM EDT

Sen. Marco Rubio's (R-FL) views on climate change have apparently not won him any favor in Miami.

Experts say that sea-level rise could easily reach six to ten feet by the end of the century, which would be enough to put most of Miami underwater, The Guardian reported Friday. Rubio is among those Florida politicians, including Gov. Rick Scott (R), who've refused to address the warnings of those experts.

"Rubio is an idiot," South Miami Mayor Philip Stoddard said, as quoted by The Guardian. "He says he is not a scientist so he doesn't have a view about climate change and sea-level rise and so won't do anything about it."

Rubio, a potential 2016 presidential contender, has said that he doesn't agree with the notion of man-made climate change.

1. Ad hominem attacks are not valid political discourse.

There is, however, the fact that Marco Rubio actually is an idiot. Let's give Stoddard a pass on this.
