Why does Marc Rubio's Senate bio still tell the lie about his parents?

[Empowerer]

In 1971, Marco was born in Miami to Cuban-born parents who came to America following Fidel Castro's takeover.

I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt that he didn't know that his parents were not exiles from Castro's Cuba but instead came here for economic reasons.

But why hasn't he corrected his bio yet?

1. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say, because he is a liar.

It's the only thing Republicans are good at.

:shrug:

[The Magistrate]

2. Because He Is Not Only a Pathological Liar, Ma'am, But a Fool

Of course, as he is a Republican, the above has an air of redundancy.

3. Good catch. Now it's less likely Dumbo will run as VP

or be the 2016 great white Cuban hispanic vote getting hope

[MADem]

4. The facts are that his parents were apparently "Cake and Eat It Too" immigrants

They wanted the best of both worlds. When they couldn't have it, they chose the best option available.

They came to America BEFORE Castro took power too....and they went to Cuba AFTER Castro took power, as well.

5. Probably because it might be a more compelling narrative.

Politicians beef up their naaratives hoping it
will not be detected.

6. Rubio's a PUNK.

A lying-ass punk.

7. The bigger question is: Why hasn't the MSM confronted Rubio on his Big Lie?

[CakeGrrl]

8. +1000. If this was President Obama's error, the MSM would hound him 24/7.

The MSM will cover for the GOP until the Dems make enough noise to make it an issue.

9. It takes time to come up with a good lie to replace another good lie

Putting up the truth would be easy and take a few seconds.
Lying takes time. But ask Marco - it is worth it.

10. We should be asking to see his birth certificate

nt.

[Ikonoklast]

11. I want to see his Birth Certificate.

Seems that there are enough questions about how his parents came here, when they came here, where he was born, and to which country his loyalties lie.

[flamingdem]

12. He's a commie plant, I knew it!

Fidel has always been good at espionage.

[Hutzpa]

14. Yeah trying to get a peek for sale to Cuba

how did he even get pass GO? :shrug:

[flamingdem]

19. here Rubio, have a cigar!

the USA really should be friends with Cuba, and not friends with Rubio!

[mwooldri]

13. His bio is nearly accurate.

The correction of course is:
"in 1971, Marco was born in Miami to Cuban-born parents who came to America. Following Fidel Castro's takeover, they decided to stay here."

Or could be corrected to "came to America during the time of the Cuban Revolution".

Either of which would be more factually accurate. But then IOKIYAAR.

[Empowerer]

15. It STILL hasn't been changed!

[winstars]

16. Its changed now, too fucking late asshole!!! nt

[Empowerer]

17. I can't believe they left it there for a full day after the story broke.

[Mass]

18. Because this helps him to be elected in Florida?

20. He is the fourth Musketeer.Ileana, and the other Balarts are the 3 main musketeers.

I hate the trio of the Ileana Ross and the Balart brothers, they make me puke, that old crap Ileana is such a hypocrite! In front of Obama she even has kissed him, and when he turns his back she stabs him with all her forceful hate, believe me, we know her here very well, and the Balart brothers are a pain in the neck, well, real rethugs, what can you expect?

Rubio is a LIAR, two=faced cockroach, and a true opportunist. Hate them all.

[love0bama-4ever]

21. And I forgot this!.....: close relatives of his were drug traffickers!!!!

Yes, wow, i almost forgot, I have to find out who those were, I think one of them was either his sister or someone very close to him, they were involved in narcotrafico. I will report later on this.
