Ethics watchdogs question necessity of the US secretary of state flying between DC and Gainesville so often
Marco Rubio, the US secretary of state, has emerged as a superfan of the University of Florida’s football team, spending more than $1.2m of taxpayers’ money on frequent personal trips to watch them play, a report published on Wednesday claims.
Ethics watchdogs have questioned the necessity of the country’s top diplomat shuttling so often between Washington DC and Gainesville, where his son Anthony has a walk-on role as a running back for the team known as the Gators.
An investigation by the Washington Post found that Rubio has attended at least 10 games in the last two seasons, including five this fall, and that of 23 total trips made to Gainesville on military aircraft, 15 were “personal” in nature.
Every single Democrat in the Senate voted in favor of Marco Rubio’s nomination to Secretary of State
Indeed, I’m referring more to the upcoming majority leaders vote and how those two refuse to relinquish their power even though they have no plans on helping the working class.
To be fair when he was nominated he looked like one of very few people that were somewhat qualified. Turns out that requirements of this position changed to be the White House jester.
Foam Party Marco? The guy who got his start selling cocaine for his cousin?
Rubio’s sum total of political qualifications was being in tight enough with the Miami Mafia guys to get easy credit while looking fuckable enough to satisfy the twink hunters in DC.
Everything he’s achieved since has been an extension of one or the other. Drug cartels and trafficking gangs are his two biggest constituencies.
Yeah, he doesn’t look like much, but compare him to the rest of the cabinet.
