Marco Rubio releases first TV ad: ‘What happened in Paris could happen here’

Dylan Stableford
Senior editor
November 23, 2015

Florida Sen. Marco Rubio has released the first television ad of his Republican presidential campaign, warning Americans that terror attacks like the ones that happened in Paris could happen in the United States.

“This is a civilizational struggle between the values of freedom and liberty and radical Islamic terror,” Rubio says in the 30-second spot scheduled to begin airing nationally on Tuesday. “What happened in Paris could happen here.”

“There is no middle ground,” the GOP candidate continues. “These aren’t disgruntled or disempowered people. These are radical terrorists who want to kill us, because we let women drive, because we let girls go to school.”

He adds: “I’m Marco Rubio. I approve this message because there can be no arrangement or negotiation. Either they win or we do.”

"We let women drive, but we want them jailed if they want the same control over their bodies that we men enjoy over ours. We're not THAT different from the radical terrorists, let's get real here!"

There, now his thoughts are expressed completely.

as reported on msnbc. A sea change. They can exploit the Paris attacks to the hilt, it's working.

...which no doubt accounts for all of the ISIS attacks against every other country that does these things, like China.

Rubio's going to get a lot of mileage out of exploiting the Paris attacks and fear/dislike of immigrants & refugees. This is sad.

Now there's a novel approach. One the GOP has never used before.
