Rubio's Brother-in-Law is Convicted Drug Trafficker

[RandySF]

"Federal prosecutors in Miami ordered the seizure of the home where Barbara Rubio lived with her husband Orlando Cicilia... Cicilia was convicted and sentenced to 25 years in prison for conspiracy to distribute cocaine and marijuana belonging to a crime ring implicated in the death and dismemberment of a federal informant, as well as the bribing of several Miami police officers."

At the time, Marco Rubio, just 16 years old, was a student at South Miami High.

Univision asked the Senator how this epsiode affected his family and what type of relationship he had with his convicted brother-in-law. Rubio’s spokesperson, who did not deny any of the information uncovered by Univision Investiga, said he considered the issue a private family matter.

“Quite simply, the pursuit of this story and the targeting of the Senator’s relatives, who are private citizens, is outrageous,” said Alex Burgos in a letter to Univision CEO Randy Falco seeking to kill the story. “They do not hold public office and are unrelated in every way to his service in the United States Senate.”

4. I agree it's irrelevant and it's a guilt-by-association fallacy

Unless it's proven that Rubio assisted his brother-in-law by also engaging in such criminal activity then there's no rationality in trying to blame Rubio for what his brother-in-law committed.

I wouldn't be surprised if Rubio was guilty of OTHER things but blaming him for what his brother-in-law did is fallacious.
