Republican senator’s comments come as he is considered among Trump’s top candidates for vice-president
The Republican Florida senator Marco Rubio said on Sunday he would not commit to accepting the 2024 presidential election results, insisting that “if it’s unfair” his party will “go to court and point out the fact that states are not following their own election laws”.
Rubio’s statements on Meet the Press come as he is considered among former president Donald Trump’s top candidates for vice-president. Trump has continuously said falsely that the 2020 election was stolen.
Those claims spurred the 6 January 2021 insurrection, during which participants stormed the Capitol building as lawmakers were in the midst of certifying the election results. Trump is facing a variety of charges related to alleged election meddling.
And he gets to pick which data supports his desired outcome.
If you torture the data enough, it will confess.
Surprised none of them have said the constitution should be followed, as long as it’s convenient to their ends.
I wish our national standards were not so low, because from a different perspective, it’s great that these people are self-identifying as power-corrupted fascists. Usually they hide it and we have to guess.
I really cannot understand how 40% of voters see a rejection of democratic elections as a qualification to run a democracy.
As if it would matter to anyone.
Hey hey let’s give Little Marco a break, okay - he’s very dehydrated!
Little Marco wants to be Very Puny Marco
Republicans NEVER accepted election results unless THEY won.
It’s nothing unique to 2020. It was only a big deal because of fatass Trump.
Theyre gearing up another January 6, mark my words
I don’t think they’ll even need to. The Dems are tired and the repubs are amped up. Trump is probably going to win this election as fucked up as that is.
You’re sorely mistaken if you think We The People are not AMPED to send these filthy trump traitors scurrying back to the prison cells they would be graced to inhabit alive.
My family in law are a very intellectual thinking kind Jewish family but for some dumb fucking reason they are trump supporters. I’m voting out of fear but I don’t think there is enough of us.
It baffles me that more Jewish people don’t understand that they’re going to be targeted by the MAGA crowd, because they largely share a common cause with neo-Nazis. It’s super fucking obvious, and they refuse to see it.
It’s almost as bad as “Latinos for Trump”
Or black people for Trump.
Or homosexuals for Trump (yeah, that is a thing, I don’t get it either).
Etc.
Jews for Hitler!
Only if Trump doesn’t win. Then it’s not necessary.
The only election result the Government of Fucking Putin would accept is a 87% popular vote win like in shithole Russia.
Did you guys see Chris Sununu fully bend over backwards, collapsing his face fully into Trump’s ass cheeks to defend his endorsement despite going full 180 from his words not 2 years ago? That man should join the circus with flexibility like that.
Yeah because it’s that easy right?! Dr tells me I have cancer, I’ll just not accept the diagnosis because it’s unfair. Problem solved, cancer gone!
Apropos, because the Rs are pretty much a cancer on the nation and it’s people.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The Republican Florida senator Marco Rubio said on Sunday he would not commit to accepting the 2024 presidential election results, insisting that “if it’s unfair” his party will “go to court and point out the fact that states are not following their own election laws”.
Rubio’s statements on Meet the Press come as he is considered among former president Donald Trump’s top candidates for vice-president.
Those claims spurred the 6 January 2021 insurrection, during which participants stormed the Capitol building as lawmakers were in the midst of certifying the election results.
He also refused to criticize Trump for his comments on Florida’s six-week abortion ban, during which Trump called the law a “terrible thing, a terrible mistake” – despite also repeatedly claiming credit for overturning the federal protection for abortion.
“I support any bill that protects unborn human life, but I don’t consider other people in the pro life movement who have a different view to be apostate,” said Rubio, who has long pushed for strict limits on abortion.
We are not like the Democrats where, unless you are in favor of their bills that basically say, ‘Let’s just put in all this fancy language, but it’s not meaningful in terms of any restrictions.’”
The original article contains 473 words, the summary contains 204 words. Saved 57%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
obviously it’s only fair if Trump wins like he says. Otherwise it’s just rigged if he doesn’t win
That’s exactly how Trump thinks, whenever he calls things unfair it’s just regular crap but everything is unfair if they don’t get their desired outcome. The mental gymnastics are absolutely amazing with these people. If we could turn that into an energy source we could get off of oil. Likewise with their projection, though we’d need to limit the size of screen they’d produce otherwise we could only make out a nose hair at best.
Hell, Trump whined that 2016 was rigged even though he won the electoral college.
V.P. Candidate Checklist:
✅ Deny 2020 election results.
✅ Deny 2024 election results in advance
✅ Kiss Trump’s ass.
✅ Lose your soul if you ever had one.
Nobody who ever had a soul would ever agree to be Donald’s VP.
Dude gets called “Little Marco” for a months by Trump, and he’s still chortling his balls. People like him are so desperate for power that they will happily give up their self respect.
This is one of my favorite photos ever. Just the perfect representation of the modern Republican Party.
Sounds like a spoiled child
Fuckface 45 is that shitty kid who always changed the rules of the game right as he was about to lose.
His few friends were the ones who accepted the changes and stuck around.
“time out!”
*Runs*
“Time in!”
