Marco Rubio Would Like to Have a Beer With Malala, a Muslim Teen

[kpete]

Today, Senator Marco Rubio held a Q&A for “young professionals” at St. Anselm College in New Hampshire. That sounds very boring, and it probably mostly was, except that Rubio gave perhaps the most insane answer possible to the question, “Who would you like to have a beer with who is not a politician?”

His answer: Malala!!!

Rubio asked who he'd want to have a beer with who's not a politician. He says Malala.
Is that legal yet?

Marco. My man.

This is hilarious on about 40,000 different levels, the first being that Malala is both a teenager and a practicing Muslim, which would prevent her from drinking alcohol twice over. There is also just the general image of Marco Rubio and Malala having a conversation at a bar at Marco Rubio’s insistence.

1. Oh my...

Is he really that clueless?

[livetohike]

2. Clueless. This is going to be fun watching what other

idiotic statements he'll make.

3. Isn't she living in England?

Having a beer at 18 is perfectly legal there, I believe.

As to drinking a beer, she probably wouldn't, at least not in public, because she is aware of publicity. Paparazzi would have that photo in the tabloids in a heartbeat.

4. Well, that hardly seems fair. Marco doesn't drink beer.

5. Hell, why not take her to a bbq at your church on Sunday afternoon too

If we elect this guy, woof.

6. Awwwwwwwwwww that's actually sweet.

I don't think he actually wants to force her to drink a beer. More like lets have a chat. It's too bad he is a first class idiot supporting fascist ideas, if it wasn't for that he might be a nice guy.

7. don't care for him but usually that question just means

Who you would want to hang out with.
