Rubio Defends Obama

...I'll be happy Tuesday, when Rubio loses Florida.

Rubio Defends Obama: "He's Used Divisive Language Too, I Admit..." But He's Never Said To Beat Somebody Up

As part of a more than ten minute speech passionately denouncing Donald Trump, Marco Rubio breaks down and admits that he may not ever support Trump as the Republican Party's presidential nominee, even though he signed a Republican Party pledge to do so. "It's getting harder every day," he said.

The Florida senator also defended President Obama from claims Trump made blaming him for violent protests last night in Chicago, which he also says were "highly organized."

"This is what happens when a leading presidential candidate goes around feeding into a narrative of anger and bitterness and frustration," Rubio said about last night's violence in Chicago. "And I think we all need to take a step back, and ask ourselves, are we contributing to this? Because if this continues, this county will be continuing to be ripped apart at the seams, and we will be incapable of solving any major issues we have..."

"Look," Rubio said. "Barack Obama has used divisive language as well --I admit-- but he hasn't called people in the crowd to beat people up."

"He has divided Americans among, like class warfare, and things of that nature," Rubio said about the president. "But I don't think he bears any responsibility for last night."

"A lot of what you saw last night was Obama," Trump said this morning.

I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.

Lots of reads but no comments.  LOL!  I guess I will go for it.  I don't like Trump any more than I like Obama.  I think they are both the same.  Dividers.

Alexander Acosta Labor Secretary resigned under pressure concerning his "sweetheart deal" with Jeffrey Epstein.  He was under consideration for AG after Sessions was removed, but was forced to resign instead.

Now that was a stupid thing for Rubio to say.  It doesn't matter whether Obama has fomented violence or not (and I ain't sayin' he has, or he hasn't), but he shouldn't have been brought into the conversation at all; Rubio should have kept it where it belonged.

That being said, there is precious little difference between Trump and Obama, other than nominal party affiliation, melanin content, and nationalist vs internationalist socialism (still the same socialism though).
