Pete Buttigieg Dunks on Whiny Rubio So Bad That Lil’ Marco Has to Make a Sad Video Defending Himself
One senses that there’s a little bit of jealousy going on with respect to Marco Rubio versus Pete Buttigieg. After all, Pete is all things Rubio was supposed to be, only younger and still climbing. Meanwhile, Marco is on life support with a foundering campaign up against the very popular Rep. Val Demmings, and there is no guarantee that Rubio wins that race, especially representing a pro-choice state at a time with an angry electorate. Buttigieg has a relatively important cabinet position, especially at this point in history.
Out of fear of the SCOTUS, Democrats have pushed to codify the right to marry across the country. Federal law “trumps” state law on issues such as these. Marco Rubio made waves across the country, saying that he thought it was a “waste of time.”
Marco Rubio told me that he is a NO on House’s same-sex marriage bill, calling it a ‘stupid waste of time,'” CNN’s Manu Raju reported last Wednesday. He also noted that “when he said that, there was another senator on the elevator who heard him: Tammy Baldwin, who is gay.
Yes, it would take up so much of Marco’s precious time. Sec. Buttigieg (Marco probably hates hearing the title, given that Marco voted against Buttigieg as secretary) pointed out that this actually wasn’t about time, making a fool out of Rubio while doing it:
“If he’s got time to fight against Disney, I don’t know why he wouldn’t have time to help safeguard marriages like mine. But this is really, really important to a lot of people. It’s certainly important to me. Our marriage deserves to be treated equally. And I don’t know why this would be hard for a senator or a congressman.”

Oh! That’s right! When it was time to fight gay marriage, Marco had plenty of time. That is a Pete Buttigieg-level spanking. Reserved but so smart it digs to the core.

Buttigieg had a solution: If they don’t want to spend a lot of time on this they can vote ‘yes’ and move on. And that would be really reassuring for a lot of families around America, including mine.
Rather than take it like a man (so to speak), Rubio simply whined in a “rebuttal.”
Working Americans,of every background,struggle with real problems like gas prices & flight cancellations
But we have a Transportation Secretary who wants us to focus on a fake problem & who went to Harvard but apparently doesn’t know the difference between state & federal issues pic.twitter.com/hI5rMKvwvX

While also saying: “I’m not going to focus on the agenda that dictated [sic] by a bunch of affluent, elite liberals and a bunch of Marxist misfits,
And that did it. As Pete said, all those problems existed when Marco was attacking Disney, and he found the time, and – it doesn’t take long. Last, yes, Pete went to Harvard and knows that federal law would protect gay couples in… Indiana, where Pete and Chasten are from, but might not allow gay marriage.
The net loved Pete and buried Marco:
Marco got dunked on so bad by Buttigieg he had to make an emergency video

He went to Harvard on a scholarship. Working Americans know that every Republican voted against banning price gauging at the pumps, voted against child tax credit. Working Americans know, Republicans aren’t working for them.

Pro Tip: When whining about how you can relate to the plight of the average working American, maybe don’t do it in a crisp white polo sitting on the deck of your spacious Florida mansion surrounded by sunshine and palm trees. https://t.co/jxLqr1TKlP

Clarence Thomas, a sitting justice, just said that he wants the court to overturn the “errors” of same-sex marriage and birth control. It’s not a “fake problem.”
What’s a REAL problem is the fact that every single House Republican voted against a bill to fight gas price gouging.

Sir, you are great on the attack, but you offer little for solution. Can you please place a link to your proposed policy that will solve high gas prices and airline flight delays.

Just own it Marco, you don't support marriage equality because you want to run for president again. Stop being a tiny little coward by doing this pathetic spin on your position.

You spent more time with News 9 on Disney and this state issue than it would take you to vote YES on protecting the freedom to marry.
If you oppose marriage equality, say it with your whole chest. https://t.co/VVLxgPKR9g
