Rubio Roasted For Blaming Press On Greene’s Rise (As If He Didn’t Boost Trump’s Falsehoods) – By Summer Concepcion (Talking Points Memo) / Feb 3 2021
Speak for yourself, Marco Rubio!
The Florida senator once again found himself in Twitter-roasting territory on Wednesday with his misguided tweet blaming the media for the rise of QAnon-sympathizer Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) within the GOP — conveniently ignoring his own history of enabling former President Trump to run wild with false claims of election fraud that eventually led to the deadly insurrection at the Capitol last month.
On Wednesday morning, Rubio griped about the amount of news coverage that Greene has gotten over her conspiracy-ridden remarks that recently resurfaced.
Demonstrating the GOP’s laughable calls for unity after spending months pushing Trump’s election fraud falsehoods in the lead-up to the Capitol riot, Rubio tried to save face by calling on the media to not amplify conspiracy theorists.
Reporting that a politician believes in/flirts with conspiracy theories is legit, but the attention they get should be proportional to their ability to influence actual public policy
Don’t make them famous, help them raise money or elevate conspiracy theories
