Hispanic crowd boos Marco Rubio off stage

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) took the stage in Orlando at Calle Orange, a Puerto Rican-themed festival, on Sunday when some in the crowd started booing, NPR reported.

The jeering got louder as the Cuban-American senator, seeking reelection after dropping his presidential bid earlier this year, was introduced.
And when the emcee asked for applause as Rubio took the same, boos drowned out any supporters in the crowd, NPR added.

"Thank you for having me today," Rubio said in Spanish. "I want you to enjoy this day. We're not going to talk about politics today. Thank God for this beautiful day, and for our freedom, our democracy, our vote, and our country. God bless you all, thank you very much."

He left the stage to more boos from the crowd, according to the report.

That he was going to stump, but made the quick decision that it wasn't going to be the best idea.

He's exactly the classic amoral politician serving the dark money string pullers we need to get out of politics. Especially the U.S. Senate.

Jose Andres is kicking Trump's ass on @CNN. He told Trump to GFH and quit Trump hotel. Seems like a good man and cool person.

...after not fighting back after The Donald emasculated him so publically.

Retire from elected office, Marco.
