Marco Rubio admits to 'crime spree' in response to Washington Post

Source: Cox Media Group National Desk

Sen. Marco Rubio is admitting to a "crime spree."

"Marco Rubio doesn't RSVP," says a woman in a Rubio campaign video.

His campaign released a sarcastic video after an article in The Washington Post reported he was arrested in 1990 for being in a public park after it was closed. His campaign said the then-18-year-old was also drinking beer.

Since the beginning of his campaign, Rubio has accused papers of reporting on what he considers trivial issues from his past.

Note that the campaign was being sarcastic. It says so in the article.

He does seem to have a good sense of humor. As disaster on the issue, but at least, I can say THAT for him.

sleazy friends like disgraced Rep. David Riviera, someone he owned a home with (now foreclosed) just as he shared a place with the sleazy guy he was arrested with during the latest incident being reported on. Imagine him as Potus, he'd be looking for angles for himself and his dishonest Cuban buddies in Florida.

So much corruption swirling around such a relatively young man.

Not a surprise to those of us who were watching and warning about this crass opportunist, years ago.

And let's not forget, Jeb Bush raised him through the ranks.

he and his minions would exploit, or try to, every perceived misdeed from the entire life of the Democratic candidate...

"Hillary is unelectable! You know she actually STOOD A BOY UP for a date when she was fifteen years old? Oh, the horror! No REAL American would vote for her!"
"Yeah, that Bernie, he was a real prick, y'know that? When he was seven years old, the little bastard threw my newspaper in a puddle THREE DAYS IN A ROW! Man, anyone who'd vote for him is more worthless than he is!"
"Oh man, Martin O'Malley? When he was nine years old he had the makings of a career criminal. I told him and I told him and I told him, 'you can only keep six crabs a day.' But what's he do? Kept SEVEN crabs! They oughta throw him in jail right now and bust off the key in the lock, that's what they should do. Why in hell he thinks he deserves to be anything but a worthless bum is the biggest mystery of all time."
