Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) said he believes the alleged shooter who opened fire last week at a Florida high school should be executed.

During an interview with CBS Miami, Rubio was asked whether he believes Nikolas Cruz, the suspected shooter, should get the death penalty.

"The answer is yes," Rubio said.

But he added it's a tough question to answer because he has larger concerns about the death penalty.

1. He can sure talk out of both sides of his mouth. He speaketh with a forked tongue.

[PatSeg]

17. Oh yes

He is extremely proficient at it. A smarter man would have avoided television interviews so soon after the shooting.

[syringis]

2. Great ! Welcome back to the good old days of Far West....

[maxsolomon]

3. As a deterrent to others, or as revenge?

Because neither are justifiable.

60 or 70 years in prison, until your death from natural causes, is a pretty severe punishment.

[OhNo-Really]

29. more like an effort to deter the anger from lack of Gun Laws to the teen shooter

[Archae]

4. Who is the guy on the right?

The interviewer, that is.

The guy is really big.

[genxlib]

10. Jim Defede

He is a long time South Florida Investigative Reporter. Formerly with the Miami Herald and now with a local TV station

He has always been a big guy but he has certainly gotten to an unhealthy size.

[Proud liberal 80]

5. But I thought it was a mental health problem

Not a gun problem, if so why execute someone who is mentally ill.

[MLAA]

13. I was thinking the same thing. All gun killing sprees are due to mental illness not lax gun laws.

So now the MF repugs are promoting killing the mentally ill. Sound familiar to another time in history?

[IronLionZion]

34. Republicans enjoy executing people

but won't spend money on mental health treatment or armed security guards. They'll probably cut funding for schools even more by saying that school is too dangerous and kids should just stay home.

[CanonRay]

6. Quick question Marco. What does that solve?

[Iliyah]

7. Oh damn . . . . . . .

Fuck people after they leave the wound, ummm, like no health care, mental care, et al., and in this case, shooter passed the smell test.

Vote these shitholes out.

[ploppy]

8. F U

Napoleon! What an idiot.

[Liberalagogo]

9. Okay

But only when we start executing people and their supporters/enablers for treason.

[Turbineguy]

11. Now that's the usual

helpful suggestion we've come to expect from Rubio.

[bronxiteforever]

20. [phone]

[ffr]

12. Cool moment here. We have a conservative who's sweating it up about taking blood money from the NRA

Keep talking.

See everyone of you at the March for our Lives on March 24, 2018.

For those around Tallahassee, FL, go support these [link:High school shooting survivors plan trip to Tallahassee|#Never Again young adults] as they march on Florida's state capitol on Tuesday, February 20, 2018.

[handmade34]

14. uh...

to absolve himself???

[onecent]

15. So all these people have to go along with all that shit that happens during that?????He is nutz.

[TheDebbieDee]

16. Sen Rubio opens his mouth and says "shiny thing"...

But we will not be distracted, will we?

[mpcamb]

35. Rubio has received $3.3 million in campaign contributions from the National Rifle Association.

[awesomerwb1]

18. Yes but no but yes but no

typical Rubio answer

[Javaman]

19. robot rubio needs to go away nt

[cab67]

21. good way to derail the trial

Assuming Cruz doesn't plead guilty, it's going to be bloody difficult to find a venue where the case hasn't saturated the news. He's still entitled to a fair trial, and having politicians shooting their mouths off about what should happen (right or wrong) doesn't help.

[workinclasszero]

22. That SOB put the military weapon of mass killing in the murders hands!

That 3.3 MILLION that Rubio put in his pocket from the terror org NRA had it's inevitable effect!

Innocent kids slaughtered and their blood is all over Rubio's hands!

He has an A+ rating from the bloody NRA and has and will again and again and again block any and all sensible gun laws as long as he is in office!

If Americans are tired of the reign of terror brought on by the NRA and it's political party...ALL republicans MUST be voted out of office!

At least enough for the democrats to take charge anyway. If that doesn't happen the reign of terror will continue in our schools and other public places in this country.

It will NEVER end!

[turbinetree]

23. Hey Rubio, you do fucking realize that since you have blood money on your hands over 3 million

and in your re-election fund from the NRA and the gun manufactures, that in many ways you are complicit in these murders and other past murders...............do you fucking understand this asshole?

You were given the opportunity to protect people human beings and you fucking failed to protect the "General Welfare" of the people of this country, you only thought about money and doing the NRA and gun manufactures bidding ......................

Here lets see who you are about the most:

November 2018 cannot get here fast enough

[BillyBobBrilliant]

24. So dumb, he doesn't realize

that nobody is really listening to he who rides the horse of 'Self-importance.'

[NNadir]

25. How about NRA funded co-conspirators in Congress?

How much money did gunrunner Marco get to arm this bastard again?

[samnsara]

26. the kid 'aint right in the haid' and im sure other developmentally challanging issues

[Tatiana]

27. Boy is he worthless. Hope Florida dumps him.

Charlie Crist would have been a better representative.

Can he take a clear position on anything?

[LiberalLovinLug]

28. Yeah that will work

Most of these shooters are so depressed and/or mentally unfit that they have already accepted that they may die in their actions. The next shooter is not going to be put off because the last shooter got the death penalty. Of all the crimes in the world, this is the least one where the death penalty could be a deterrent.

[Demonaut]

30. isn't he pro-life?....I'm for the death penalty in this specific case too though

[Julian Englis]

31. How does Marco feel about executing traitors and conspirators to treason?

He might want to consider this.

[Bengus81]

32. Sure,makes him look like "big protector" after taking money from the NRA for years...........

[ProfessorGAC]

33. So, They're Going To Execute Him Because He's Crazy?

The mental health excuse is all we heard for 3 days, and now the DP for being crazy?

And he thinks that makes sense?

[hatrack]

36. Yes, that will fix everything!

Stupid, pandering bag of shit.
