Right-Wing Site: Marco Rubio Has DC Lobbyist Mistress

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by TexasTowelie (a host of the Latest Breaking News forum).

Source: Liberal America.org

Ultraconservative website The Minority Report is saying that 2016 GOP Presidential candidate Marco Rubio has been involved in a long-term extramarital affair with a female lobbyist, and that the woman will come forward this week to announce the relationship. There is also some suggestion that this entire story may have been fed to the press by the Jeb Bush campaign, though campaign operatives for Bush have continually denied they are the source of the rumors.


“Details of the forthcoming scandal are not yet clear, although the allegation involving Rubio and the female lobbyist is reportedly being leaked to ‘multiple mainstream media outlets’ this week. “All the operative would say was that the woman was identified by researchers during a deep dive into Rubio’s disastrous personal finances.”

The allegations of an affair have also been reported by The Political Insider and have been hinted at for months now among those who cover the Rubio campaign. The Florida Senator has been rising in recent polls, but revelations of an affair could well spell the end of the Rubio 2016 effort.
Whether or not these rumors prove to be true, there is evidence that a PAC aligned with Rubio has already spent in excess of $40,000 trying to debunk repeated whispers that the Senator has a “zipper problem” and not only has a mistress, but also a “love child.”

Numerous national media outlets are pursuing multiple allegations of infidelity involving U.S. Senator Marco Rubio of Florida – all in the aftermath of the “mistress bomb” report we published earlier this week.

Specifically, three mainstream media outlets have independently supplied us with the names of two additional women said to be romantically linked to the GOP establishment’s candidate of choice. These names are in addition to the woman we referenced earlier this week – a lobbyist whose alleged proximity to Rubio was discovered during a deep dive into the candidate’s disastrous personal finances.

Meanwhile, a national operative familiar with the opposition research on Rubio described his extramarital dalliances as “serial.”
“He is going down,” the operative told us point blank.
So: Will one of these national news outlets pull the trigger? Will we?

U.S. Senator Marco Rubio is about to be rocked by a “mistress bomb,” multiple sources familiar with the allegation tell FITS. In fact we’re told this explosive rumor could detonate in wide circulation within the next forty-eight hours.

“There is a decent chance you are about to see this picture all over the place,” one of our sources said, directing us to the corporate webpage of a female Washington, D.C. lobbyist. Details of the forthcoming scandal are not yet clear, although the allegation involving Rubio and the female lobbyist is reportedly being leaked to “multiple mainstream media outlets” this week.

FITS showed the webpage we were provided to a presidential operative in early-voting South Carolina. This operative – who has worked on more than one presidential campaign during the current election cycle – confirmed that the woman on the webpage was “a focus” of opposition research against Rubio, however they declined to elaborate on what was uncovered.

All the operative would say was that the woman was identified by researchers during a deep dive into Rubio’s disastrous personal finances.

Even if this is true, all he has to do is keep quiet for a little while linger, say he's sorry in public, pay the woman to take a year long vacation in a remote village in the Himalayas, and case closed. His run would be dead in the water if he were a Democrat, because Fox Noise would talk about nothing but. However, if this is true, Fox will act like it was a non-event, and pretend on the air that it never happened. For a Republican to disqualify himself on Fox Noise, he would have to behead a girl scout on live TV while shouting in Arabic, and even then only on prime time network TV.

depends how public this gets, even a front page report in the tabloids may not break through the Donald's noise wall right now.

Rubio is probably the republican with the best chance in the general election. If proven true, this would eliminate him.
