Related: About this forumWhy Does Marco Rubio Get A Free Pass For His REAL Scandals?
The mainstream press has been relentless with their attacks on Hillary Clinton over both the Benghazi non-scandal and over her emails. But where is all the coverage of the Republican scandals, specifically the scandal-plagued up-and-comer Marco Rubio? Rubio has some very serious issues that he needs to answer for, but unfortunately, the press isnt asking any questions.

You don't want people to immunize themselves with "asked and answered" too early.

and even Chris Hayes on msnbc let things slide - oh he was poor, not good with money..
