Marco Rubio works transgender bashing into Donald Trump defense

Rubio Trump
'We had a lady, or man that now claims to be a lady, you know, going topless at the White House.'

U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio is railing about the 37-count federal indictment of former President Donald Trump, while also saying that trans activists at the White House are symptomatic of national “decline.”

“We can undertake a cultural hysteria, a ridiculous cultural hysteria that plays out. We had a lady, or man that now claims to be a lady, you know, going topless at the White House two days ago at a Pride celebration thing,” Rubio said on Fox News.

The Senator’s reference was to trans activist Rose Montoya, who was videotaped without a shirt on at the event in question. President Joe Biden’s administration said that was “inappropriate and disrespectful for any event at the White House” and Montoya and others in the video won’t be invited back.

The Senator went on to describe an overwhelming “decadent” mindset in America, contending “we can do whatever we want, can be as decadent as we want in our society and our culture.”

“We can break our politics, we can take our institutions and weaponize them for political purposes on both sides. Do you think the end is here?” Rubio asked.

Rubio then cast aspersions on the incumbent President and his son, Hunter.

“The next Republican President is going to be under tremendous pressure to bring charges and indict Joe Biden, his family, his crackhead son, whoever,” Rubio predicted. “The pressure is going to be extraordinary.”

“So we’re decadent and we’re in decline because we are, we thought we could do anything we wanted with our economy, we could send our jobs and factories overseas, break our politics, break our culture, break our society,” Rubio continued. “We don’t need parents, we don’t need neighborhood, we don’t need family anymore. All these crazy ideas and now reality is catching up and it’s hurting us badly.”

    To be fair though, Marco Rubio is a worthless shiatstain of a human being. We should be used to stuff like this.

    What is Rubio Marco doing? He wasn’t indicted. There’s no need for Marco to practice sounding insane.

    Trump is the one that has to work on sounding senile. Or, no. No, he does not need any practice at that. Following in his own footsteps, Trump’s allegations of Joe Biden being senile are, in fact, what else, confessions.

    Same as always with today’s GOPs finger pointing at everybody else, claiming the others are doing what the GOP does, and it’s, but of course, all everyone else’s fault. And now for somebody to try and change the subject lol.

    I’d lament how far Rubio has fallen, but Lil Marco stopped growing at 13 so it was just a short drop.

    “We can break our politics, we can take our institutions and weaponize them for political purposes.”

    That’s the Republican party platform in a nutshell.

    Poor Little Marco. Remember when he was the rising star? Remember how Trump humiliated him? And who can forget Little Marco’s Big Gulp. But as long as he can insult someone he feels like some caricature of a man. Bless his tiny little heart.

    “Look over here ….. not over there!” ….. is classic Marco Rubio!

    Hey Marco…. How is your comprehensive immigration reform package coming along?

    Funny how none of you commentators say anything about the freak shows going on at the people’s White House. You want to rank on a Senator that understands the decline of the West. It just proves that you don’t understand.

      The Brady group found that Rubio has received $3.3 million in National Rifle Association donations over his career, sixth highest amount among US Senators. (2022)

      The irony is that the NRA gave little money to Florida state legislators as it was able to control them by promising to field a primary opponent to those who wouldn’t cooperate.

      Talk about lack of understanding, do you not understand how this internet stuff works? If you want to read comments about something, find a post about your something and there will be the comments you seek. This post is about Marco Rubio. Therefore, the comments are too. Best of luck with your future internet comment endeavors, Heather.

      From another article on FP:
      “Transgender advocate Rose Montoya is no longer welcome at White House events after posting on social media a video of herself and two others going topless for a time at Saturday’s Pride Month celebration on the South Lawn.
      “The behavior was simply unacceptable,” White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Tuesday. “It was unfair to the hundreds of attendees who were there to celebrate their families.”
      Thirdparty, the freak show got called out.
      Now let’s pretend Rubio had some integrity and had stuck by the immigration plan with the gang of 8 instead of running away, or having called Trump “dangerously unprepared to be president” endorsing him anyway, or finding an excuse not to impeach after Jan 6, or as mentioned, his slavish devotion to the proliferation of guns while Florida becomes a slaughterhouse.

      Ah, the decline of the West. Pseudo thinkers like you have been wailing about that since the 1950’s, when they saw Playboy magazine as a sign of the decline. The decline of the Republican Party is evidenced by moral weaklings like Rubio, who stands for nothing, has nothing to say, yet clings to power in any way.
