Florida’s senior Senator says that as bad as Joe Biden might have been for his personal political priorities, presumptive Democratic nominee Kamala Harris will be “worse.”
U.S. Marco Rubio argues that while Biden was a “rental” for the left wing, because the Delaware Democrat “had no political base,” liberal interest groups “own” Harris, whom he criticized last year as a “diversity hire” Vice President.
“She’ll be worse than Biden because she actually fully believes these things and will make them priorities,” the South Florida Republican said.
Biden’s “career had not really been that of a radical leftist, but he was useful to them because he got in office. He frankly didn’t know what was going on and it gave the leftists and the shadow government a lot of a lot of runway to do whatever they wanted,” he said on “Fox & Friends.”
From there, he set up the contrast with Harris, framing her as an active agent of those groups.
“Kamala Harris is not a rental. She is owned by the left. She is a product of the left wing of the Democratic Party,” Rubio said.
He then rattled off some policy positions the Californian has taken over the years.
“Whether it’s defunding ICE, getting rid of ICE, defunding the police, single payer health care,” Rubio said. “I know she changed her position when she became the vice presidential nominee. But these are the things she fought for and stood for and voted for when she was a Senator. And that’s what she’ll do when she’s President. She is a committed California left-wing Democrat and she will be the most radically left President of this country.”
Rubio wasn’t done, however. He claimed Harris “actually wanted the administration to go further than Biden would go” in appeasing campus protesters, and that she would have been “much more palatable to the Hamas people on campus than what Joe Biden did … because she actually believes these things.”
Though right-wing media will spotlight these concerns and others, Rubio believes “she’ll hide it during the campaign and the media will do everything they can to boost her.”
“But in the end, she’s a radical California left-winger and people need to know that about her record.”
Since Harris was sworn in as VP in 2021, Rubio has denounced her as a matter of course, including saying she’s not “qualified” to be the so-called border czar, and saying that in the event of Biden’s incapacity to be President, the country would be in a “vulnerable position.”

I’m kind of new to Florida Politics! Does Senator Rubio lie like this all the time?

If his mouth is moving, yes, it means Rubio is lying.

Well Trump donated $5000 to her in the past, so he must think she’s alright.

And Marco Rubio is owned by the gun manufacturers. So there.
What Little Marco neglects to mention is that she’s a centrist – not some radical. The only radical in this race is the insurrectionist felon with no respect for the Constitution or rule of law. Marco also needs to be reminded that Donald Trump and Ivanka donated to Harris’ AG campaign.
All Marco and the MAGAs can do is look backward, not forward, because they have nothing to run on but fear and misinformation.
It’s simple: “D’ to move forward, “R” to go backward.

On the record: NRA spent over $1 million in 2016 to help Li’l Marco in his election campaign.
By comparison the NRA spent almost nothing on other Florida races — the threat of a primary opponent who was more radical kept them in the NRA pocket.

Obsessed with women of color, ain’t he/she/they?
Though they often pine for Andrew Gillum…
Guess the memo from Speaker Mike hasn’t arrived: Leave race and gender out of the campaign mix.

Lil Marco is Big Mad about not being Trump’s VP.

She is owned.
Marco is the rental. Available to the highest bidder, which has been the NRA and Donald lately. If he could stand on his own two feet, he might be a decent senator.

Rubio is still overtaken by anger, as he did everything to kiss up to the Felon and was not chosen!
