And once again we can give Meet the Press host Chuck Todd the award for the false equivalency of the day for conflating the Clinton's charity with a political pac and treating them like they're the same thing with the framing the questions for Rubio. We all know you're never allowed to ask someone about Republicans behaving badly without the appropriate "but the Democrats" thrown in there as well, which is exactly what Todd did here.
TODD: Your, something like more than half of the money that's been raised on your behalf, some super pacs, some in your personal campaign, come from about less than ten donors total. What do you owe those donors? How is is that you don't, you say you don't owe them, people make this argument. Aren't they going to expect something in return?
RUBIO: I don't think so. First of all, I can't even deal with those donors because they're involved with the super pac and I can't coordinate with any outside groups. Second, I've always been clear my entire time in politics, whether it was in the city mission is West Miami, the state legislature, Speaker of the House, running for Senate or now for president. I have an agenda. It's a consistent agenda. People buy into my agenda. If they like what I say , they donate. If they don't, they don't. They go with somebody else.
TODD: So Norman Braman whose been a friend of your family, huge donor, he doesn't get special access in the White House?
RUBIO: No. I mean, he's my friend obviously and somebody that I'll deal with on a personal level. Norman Braman's never asked me to do anything for his business interests or anything else.
TODD: So let's take you at your word. Should Republicans then take the Clintons at their word about the Clinton Foundation?
what stood out to me was when asked if the donors of more than half of is donations expected something in return his response "i don't think so" really i mean really, people who donate a dollar expect you to act in their favor and on their behalf but he doesn't know if millions donated by individuals expect at least the same???? that bit of disingenuous ED convinces me he is either third tier stupidest or lying through his teeth either way puts him in their pocket stooge or yes man.
read the rest of the interview he really never answers the question and goes on to tout his honesty but if he doesn't know if the donors expect something in return how does anything else said mean anything except deceit???????
