Marco Rubio tries to come for Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, gets smushed under the weight of facts

First, Ocasio-Cortez dropped this truth bomb on the laziest of the privileged class: Republican officials.

The thing that these conservative Senators don’t seem to understand is that I’ve actually had a physically difficult working-class job without good healthcare most of my adult life.

I bring that work ethic to Congress & to my community. They sit around on leather chairs all day.

— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) December 3, 2020

And the Lilliputian Rubio was silent. So Ocasio-Cortez expounded on these truths we all believe to be self-evident:

Republicans like to make fun of the fact that I used to be a waitress, but we all know if they ever had to do a double they’d be the ones found crying in the walk-in fridge halfway through their first shift bc someone yelled at them for bringing seltzer when they wanted sparkling

Ruh roh. About 13 hours later, the tiniest person in the history of Florida, Rubio stepped forward with this tall tale, tweeting: “Apologies for late response. Was busy this week helping a Floridian get travel documents to see his dying sister, a high schooler whose mother died get SSI benefits, a specialist for a child with a crazy Obamacare deductible & negotiating Intelligence bill & another round of PPP.” Is this all true? Maybe. Rubio doesn’t have a good track record with telling the truth about his actions, or feelings or ideas or anything, for that matter.

Unlike Ocasio-Cortez, Rubio’s attempts at swiping while sinking in the quicksand of moral bankruptcy didn’t go as well. Also, the swipe at high deductibles is precious coming from someone whose only piece of legislature has been to give away tax breaks to the people raising the deductibles.

if you gave a shit about what high deductibles do to people you would support health reform that would get rid of them, like single payer. scumbag

And some logistics.

As someone who worked constituent services, I know half these things were done by your staff; not you personally.

But seriously @marcorubio if your job is too hard, step aside for someone who really wants to help people.

And then sadly, a more realistic proposal of what Rubio’s tweet really shows.

Sorry for the late response.

I needed to check with my staff to see what they could come up with, because I have no idea what I’ve done.

I wake up, find a bible verse to tweet and my day is done.

Fixed it for you.

And what that means to his constituents in the short term and long term.

And a reminder, Sen. Marco Rubio missed the most votes of any Florida senator in 50 years in the run up to his embarrassing primary loss to Donald Trump in 2015.
