Rubio skips foreign policy hearing as he announces reelection

By BURGESS EVERETT 06/22/16 03:18 PM EDT

Marco Rubio missed a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing Wednesday morning — at the same time he was announcing plans to run for reelection.

The first-term Republican senator, who was pilloried during his presidential run for his record of missed votes and hearings, skipped a closed hearing on security for sales of military equipment to other nations, according to attendees from both parties.

In a series of interviews and statements Wednesday morning, Rubio announced his plans to seek a second term, after insisting for months he would retire from the Senate.

I'd like to think there's no way in hell my state would be stupid enough to put this lazy, opportunistic vermin back in office, but the reelection of Voldemort as governor sadly says otherwise.
