Republican Florida Sen. Marco Rubio shredded the Democrat Party on its hypocrisy as it regards their quest to “save democracy.
The Florida senator appeared on Fox News during the final night of the Republican National Convention and spoke to host Sean Hannity about how replacing President Biden would be a smack in the face to Democrat voters.
“For three and a half years, they had a conspiracy to cover up his decline because if you are a radical left-wing activist, Joe Biden is a perfect career politician for 50-something years. Generally been a centrist for most of his career int the old Democratic Party. And he is just a figurehead and they hide behind him and implement all of these policies until they couldn’t cover it up anymore one night in a debate. But the rest of us could see it,” the senator said.
“Now they are in a real bind. You make a great point if he’s not — if he doesn’t have the mental acuity to be a candidate, how can he continue to be the president? Because president is a lot harder than candidate. So they’re in a mess. So it’s going to be Kamala Harris and she’s a legit left-winger,” she said.
Republican Texas Sen. Ted Cruz chimed in with his own prediction.
“I think it’s a coin flip now between Michelle Obama and Kamala Harris. If I were a Democrat I’d want Michelle Obama. As a Republican, she’s by far the scariest nominee. But it’s interesting, the Democrats are circling the wagons around Kamala. I think it’s about 50-50 between the two of them,” he said.
That was when Sen. Rubio said replacing the president with either of them, or anyone else, was anti-democracy.
“It’s hard — if she’s your vice president, that means you think she could be president, right? How do you move her out of the way?” the senator said.
“But look, I don’t have deep insights into the DNC, but how undemocratic! They like to talk about democracy. This is basically an inter-party coup from five or six party leaders, that’s what it is. They’re basically telling this guy you gotta go, I don’t care if the voters picked you, we are going to remove you and cut off your money. I’ve never seen anything like it, it has no precedent in American politics,” he said.
