Rubios promise not to campaign against fellow Florida senator lasted two weeks

Source: Think Progress

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) has flip-flopped yet again. This time, he did so by breaking a promise he made just 13 days ago.

Rubio tweeted on Monday morning in support of Gov. Rick Scott (R-FL), who announced a bid for U.S. Senate earlier in the day. Scott will challenge three-term Democratic incumbent, Bill Nelson. Without offering any specific praise for Scott, Rubio instead focused entirely on a partisan rationale, suggesting that to confirm federal judges, a larger GOP majority is necessary (an odd claim, given that the 51-49 Senate majority has not voted down a single Trump court nominee).

Rubio noted in the tweet that he will be “contributing to, voting for & supporting” Scott’s candidacy, seemingly forgetting a long-ago promise he made not to do so way back on March 27.

“I don’t campaign against Bill Nelson,” Rubio told reporters at a sit-down interview in his Tallahassee office. “Bill Nelson and I have a very good working relationship.” While he said he would support Scott if he ran, he strongly praised Nelson saying he “could not ask for a better partner, especially from the other party” and noting that he does not work as closely with Scott.

I suppose that at the end of the day, the problem is that so many of our friends and neighbors are knuckle-draggers who want something killed - even to their detriment - simply because it has a Black guy's name on it.

All the Best to you and yours, turbinetree.
