After making his comment, the man was physically removed the event, while Rubio took more questions, laughing off the altercation. While no concrete evidence has been released to validate the claims made by the questioner, Gawker notes that there have been questions asked about Rubio's past. Some information that has been released has been allegations of Rubio fathering two children with a woman other than his wife, while also impregnating a Florida lobbyist who ended up getting an abortion. None of these allegations have been proven to be anything more than just rumors.

(135,425 posts)can/cannot do with their bodies, but then pay for their paramour's abortion, that's hypocritical. The Wee Cowboy got away with that.
When they talk about the "sanctity of marriage" and how awful it will be if "those people" are "allowed" marriage equality, and then they run around making a mockery of those sanctified vows, well, they deserve to be challenged.
Do as I say, not as I do is a lousy way to go through life.

People who hate politics because of all the petty, bullshit scandals are like people who say "I love musicals except for the singing and dancing."

(28,272 posts)If there is evidence to be had of past indiscretions on his part, is needs to be developed, confirmed, and used against him. Save the morality lectures for after we have another Democrat in the White House---why should we be hampered by good-conduct rules that the right-wingers discarded, decades ago?
