Marco Rubio: ‘Millions With Traditional Values’ Who Are ‘Branded Bigots’ Are ‘Essence Of America’
Marco Rubio is literally campaigning for the bigot vote, and he literally calls it that in his new campaign ad just released today.
In a brand new 30-second spot just released today, Senator Marco Rubio makes clear whose vote he’s campaigning for.
“This election is about the essence of America,” Rubio says, with a pained look on his face. “About all of us who feel out of place in our own country,” Rubio adds, as the camera pulls back to reveal his American flag pin.
“A government incredibly out of touch, and millions with traditional values branded bigots and haters,” he continues, speaking about those who oppose same-sex marriage and a woman’s right to choose. Rubio’s voice and face reveal a wince of disgust, as if somehow anti-gay, anti-abortion voters are victims.
Rubio then throws in a few words about wages and student loan debt, and claims President Barack Obama has been “humiliated” by Russian President “Putin, Iran, and Islamic jihadists,” although he offers no specifics.
Rubio is expanding his campaign strategy of literally going after the anti-gay bigot vote.
On Sunday’s “Meet the Press,” Rubio insisted that despite the Supreme Court’s ruling on same-sex marriage in June, same-sex marriage law is not “settled.”Â
He claimed it “is wrong is that the Supreme Court has found this hidden constitutional right that 200 years of jurisprudence had not discovered and basically overturn the will of voters in Florida where over 60 percent passed a constitutional amendment that defined marriage in the state constitution as the union of one man and one woman.”
