26 February 2020

Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) took a break from tweeting bible verses to chastise the performances of Democratic presidential candidates in Tuesday night's debate.
It didn't go as well as he'd hoped.
<p>Rubio warned his followers that Democrats would push for the government to control the internet, energy, schools and health care, but it was his last sentence that stood out.</p><p><div id="insticator-container" class="embedid-ee1b1245-7f34-4d5c-8a70-c8be74fe7696"><div id="div-insticator-ad-1"></div><div id="insticator-embed"></div><div id="div-insticator-ad-2"></div><script data-cfasync="false" type="text/javascript">Insticator.ad.loadAd("div-insticator-ad-1");Insticator.ad.loadAd("div-insticator-ad-2");Insticator.load("em",{id : "ee1b1245-7f34-4d5c-8a70-c8be74fe7696"})</script></div></p><p><strong>Take a look at this tweet below.</strong></p>

<p><strong>Rubio ended with:</strong><br></p><blockquote><em>"And as a bonus, reefer for everyone!"</em></blockquote><p>While at least two candidates—Senators Bernie Sanders (D-VT) and Amy Klobuchar (D-MN)—discussed the need to legalize marijuana at last night's debate (other candidates support its legalization as well), their calls to legalize were rooted more in ending the incarceration of hundreds of thousands of nonviolent offenders—not getting high.</p><p><strong>Speaking of high...</strong></p>
