Marco Rubio Accuses NYT of Attacking Him With Castro Regimes Propaganda

Marco Rubio on Monday accused the New York Times of reporting the Castro regimes propaganda on him by publishing a story highlighting negative opinions of the GOP presidential candidate held by some Cubans.
NYT follows up traffic tix & luxury speedboat stories with expose of Castro regimes propaganda on me. #nicetry, Rubio wrote on Twitter Monday morning, referencing a Times piece published Sunday that cast the Cuban-American senator as hardly a hero in Cuba.
Rubios tweet also referred to two separate stories published in the Times last month, one of which broke news of the Florida senators four traffic tickets accumulated since 1997, a report that was subsequently discovered by the Washington Free Beacon to have been written after the traffic citations were pulled by liberal opposition research firm American Bridge.
The other story spotlighted Rubios student debt, mortgages, and purchase of a fishing boat, which the publication characterized as the Republican presidential candidates financial struggles.

Paranoia and persecution, perhaps delusions.

(23,730 posts)newspaper, TV station, party, schoolhouse, military unit, university, and drug dealer is just another KGB tentacle, totally paid-for
every human-rights org is a nest of terrorists and every strike or peasant rising is Moscow advancing and Washington falling behind
they even made their unmedicated screaming into a thriller
