Marco Rubio is an idiot

[Ohio Joe]

Marco Rubio Bucks Mitch McConnell on Jan. 6, Says It Wasn’t a ‘Violent Insurrection’ Because There Was ‘No Way They Were Going to Overthrow the Government’

Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) has rejected Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s (R-KY) description of the storming of the U.S. Capitol as a “violent insurrection.”

Rubio spoke to NewsNation’s Kellie Meyer on Wednesday, who asked him why he declines to call January 6th a “violent insurrection.” His answer: “There was no way they were going to overthrow the government of the United States.”

So... An insurrection needs to succeed in order to be a violent insurrection? What a stupid, stupid man.

[C_U_L8R]

1. They sure did try. And that's treason, sedition, whatever you wanna call it.

They even brought their own gallows. Which may come in handy.

[walkingman]

2. Making excuses for the Jan 6 insurrection is not rational or acceptable.

[RKP5637]

3. Rubio is very stupid in just about every way imaginable. n/t

[PatSeg]

11. It's not so much that he is stupid,

but that he is seriously compromised by a very stupid man. He knows how dumb that sounds.

[Mr.Bill]

58. Whenever Rubio speaks, close your eyes

and tell me what you see. I see a 14 year old child talking. By the way, this also works with Lauren Boebert and Marjorie Taylor Greene.

No offence intented toward intelligent 14 year old children.

[PatSeg]

62. Rubio always had a child-like quality about him

He seems so out of his element in DC. He comes across as awkward and uncomfortable like a child at the grownups table. That said, I do think he is smarter than Boebert and Greene, but his moral compass and maturity are about the same.

[RKP5637]

59. Yes, excellent point!!!

[PatSeg]

64. I'm almost embarrassed for him at times

Remember his State of the Union response and the awkward water bottle fiasco? Then during the 2016 primaries when he thought he could out insult Trump? That was so sad. Not everyone is cut out for politics.

[Emile]

4. He's just another Ass Kissing Trumpy.

[Moostache]

24. He and Cruz and Lindsey are all the same...

They are Ass-kicked Boot Lickers by Trump.
He bullied them, he owned them in 2015-2016 and he never lets them get too far out of line before he smacks them back into toeing the line.

Rubio is pathetic, but so are Cruz and Graham.

[RKP5637]

60. Yes!!! They are weak cowardly sycophants! Frankly, as is much of the GOP! No guts to do what

is right and also correct their constituencies by being leaders rather than weak followers. Places I've worked they would have been let go for lack of guts and leadership skills.

[Phoenix61]

5. So I guess attempted murder should no longer be a crime, right?

I mean they didn’t succeed so it’s all good.

[Vinca]

6. Are they sure Marco said this? I thought his lips were superglued to Trump's behind.

[LoisB]

17. Good one.

[Stuart G]

7. Marco is stupid!! He just proved it beyond doubt by saying the above.

[Silent3]

8. In other news, scientists report water has an extremely high moisture content...

...and ursine mammals tend to defecate where trees are abundant.

[smb]

36. It's Also Reported That Pope Francis Believes Catholic Doctrine nt

[BlueJac]

9. Hey Florida folks...

Vote Rubio out. End his craziness.

[PatSeg]

10. It wasn't a bank robbery

because they didn't get away with the money.

It must be really painful to say these stupid things to appease a low intelligence reality TV star.

[lpbk2713]

12. They knew they wanted to lynch the Vice President.

That sounds like an attempt to overthrow the government to me.

[world wide wally]

13. I can't believe this clown boy is taken seriously, let alone elected to the Senate

Thanks, Florida

[Bernardo de La Paz]

14. He says not one because it didn't succeed. . . nt

[lastlib]

15. (this doesn't qualify as LBN.....)

but it CERTAINLY qualifies as TRUTH!

In Marco's feeble synaptic exertions, installing the loser of an election in place of the winner doesn't qualify as an insurrection....? Who dresses him in the morning?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

16. Rubio thinks his voters are stupider than he is. He is stupid enough to think they won't think.

For many of them, he is right. For some, they will think but act as if they haven't (in other words, lie and lie to themselves). For more than he realizes, they will think and will think he is a bit stupid. (or a lot stupid)

I don't see this total denial tactic on the part of the RepubliQonners is going to gain them Qonverts.

[ShazzieB]

53. He is demonstrating his own stupidity.

The genuinely stupid don't know how sound thinking works, becsuse they are incapable of doing it themselves. When they can say something stupid, they have no idea how stupid it actually is or how less stupid people will react, because they lack the ability to see the gaping holes in their own thinking.

TFG gave master classes in the Principles of Advanced Stupid the whole four years he was in office, and since he left office as well. Some people, like Rubio, learned a little too well it seems.

[Escurumbele]

18. He is more than stupid, he is a coward, a bad senator, a clueless human being, an opportunist, and

much, much more that is no good.

The worst part is that he keeps getting elected. The Latino community has not caught up with Rubio's strategy which is, he remains most of the time under his rock with a few appearances here and there until it gets close to elections, then he goes after Maduro of Venezuela as if he is going to do something about it, which he never does because after he gets elected he goes back under his rock, but during elections he makes Latinos feel that he, himself, is going to get Maduro out of power and liberate the Venezuelans, so all the Latinos vote for him. It was the same with Latinos who voted for trump, thinking he was the savior when all the time trump though of Maduso as "strong and intelligent", he admires Maduro, he wants to be like Maduro or any other dictator on the planet.

He needs to be challenged hard, he needs to be left out of politics, he is useless.

[Martin Eden]

19. Those who vote for him are bigger idiots

In today's Republican Party idiocy is a feature, not a bug.

[TomSlick]

20. That's not the most stupid thing I've heard this month but it's in the top twenty. nt

[Irish_Dem]

21. You'd think they could come up with better lies and BS.

But they can't.

[Caliman73]

22. There was no way the Whiskey Rebellion was going to work either...

Guess what asshat... it was still an insurrection.

[RAB910]

23. Had Trump and the evil GOP got their way, Trump stays "president" and the USA is destroyed

[Ray Bruns]

25. So Rubio is proposing the Sideshow Bob defence.

[IronLionZion]

26. War and mass murder isn't violent either if you don't overthrow the government

Dumbass

[ColinC]

27. Thing is, most of these people aren't actually idiots.

They just play one in congress.

[tavernier]

35. I'm thinking they have provided plenty of proof

Of their idiocy.

[pandr32]

28. Spin isn't his strongest suit

But it's okay. Those who follow him wouldn't know.

[jcgoldie]

29. So if I go into a bank and demand all the money

Its not really a crime because theres no way I was going to be successful?

[Alpeduez21]

30. So the American civil war was not violent

if you were on the Confederated side?

[AZLD4Candidate]

32. And our treatment of the Native Americans was just "pacification through force," similar to what

happened to Aussie Abos.

And segregation was just enhanced community planning.

[ShazzieB]

50. Sure. And World War II wasn't really a war, either.

After all, the Axis powers lost.

[AZLD4Candidate]

31. In other news, water is still wet and the sun still rises in the east. Rubio uber-fool!

[srose58089]

33. Stupid is as stupid does

There is stupid and then there is Rubio stupid

Stupid = holding bowling ball over bare foot and saying gravity does not exist
Rubio Stupid = letting bowling ball go.

[SammyWinstonJack]

66. Good one!

[vlyons]

34. just so much hemming and hawing from Rubio

what a wimpy stupid lie.

[GoCubsGo]

37. No, it's that he thinks WE are all stupid.

No intelligent person would buy his idiotic explanation. He is treating the American people like we are all idiots. That may be true of his fellow GOP cultists, but the other 70% of the country is not stupid.

[sdfernando]

38. Very stupid!

“There was no way they were going to overthrow the government of the United States.”

He just admitted to trying to overthrow the government....jail time ASAP!

[hay rick]

39. He can't speak the truth because he is a coward.

He can overcompensate by posting scripture twice a day.

[dchill]

40. Marco Rubio is an ELECTED idiot.

Stupid is as Stupid gets elected to do.

[trusty elf]

41. ...

[cannabis_flower]

42. I just shot my husband in the head

But it wasn’t violent because he didn’t die.

[ProfessorGAC]

43. Hey Marco....

...you buffoon...
The attacks on 9/11 were an attempt to badly disrupt/destroy the US economy.
That had no chance of actually happening, beyond a few days.
Were the 9/11 attacks not acts of terror because they had no chance of succeeding?

[Roland99]

44. Hinckley didn't try to assassinate Reagan, I guess.

[Fla Dem]

45. SO if I attempt to rob a bank, but I'm stopped before I get away with the money, then.......

I didn't commit a crime. Right Marco? Just created a little excitement for the bank employees that day.

[RussBLib]

46. Val Demings, come in!

Did you hear that, Val??

[MiHale]

47. Come on Marco...

Let’s have some Legitimate Political Discourse it isn’t violent…matter of fact let’s LPD you all over up and down your bod.

[Whiskeytide]

48. There wasn't much of a likelihood Charlie Manson was going to start a race war either. n/t

[bringthePaine]

49. stupid? sure thing! but don't forget utterly spineless...a failed criminal is still a criminal

[Icanthinkformyself]

51. Can't wait to vote

for Val Demmings.
Hey hey,
ho ho,
Little Marco has to go.

[dsharp88]

52. 'Attempted' and 'Conspiracy to Commit' crimes...

are crimes.

[bluecollar2]

54. So which member of the Democratic leadership is going to point out this idiocy?

Who is going to press this little scumbag and ask him,"If it wasn't a violent insurrection, what exactly was it?"

[LetMyPeopleVote]

55. Val Demmings needs to beat this idiot

[rockfordfile]

61. I agree

[Marcuse]

56. "There was no way they were going to overthrow the government..."

[peggysue2]

57. Val Demmings, are you listening?

Legitimate Political Discourse

Hang it around Rubio's neck. Make him explain it until he's tongue tied.

Legitimate Political Discourse

Because Rubio obviously believes the assault on the Capitol was no big deal since there was:

. . . no way they were going to overthrow the government of the United States.

Like a bank robber who bungles the job.

Make this weasel own it!

[spanone]

63. He really is that stupid.

[hippywife]

65. You don't say. nt

[Blue Owl]

67. Little Marco is trying to downplay the depravity

[Mike Nelson]

68. Well...

... the thing is, Marco would have been for the successful overthrowing of the government... he would have praised Crooked Donald for stopping the Biden "insurrection" through voter fraud. Marco doesn't have a very smart way of expressing his thoughts... probably he gets tied up in his attempts to deceive.
