Rubio Humorously Sets the Record Straight After Sneering NYT Journo Said It Was “Strange” to See Him at Trump Rally
President Donald Trump officially launched his 2020 reelection campaign last night at a rally in Orlando, Florida. Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) was at the rally and posted several pictures on social media of the crowd as well as a videos of VP Mike Pence and Trump speaking.
This did not sit will with New York Times journalist Michael Barbaro, who took to the Twitter machine to sneer at the Senator’s attendance. Here’s what he tweeted:
Very strange, for those of who covered 2016 campaign, to see Sen Marco Rubio smiling and chuckling in this audience.
— Michael Barbaro (@mikiebarb) June 19, 2019
Barbaro, you may recall, was the journalist who helped “expose” Rubio’s wife’s traffic tickets in 2015 and the Senator’s “luxury speedboat” that was actually a fishing boat, and pondered Rubio’s “fashionable” black boots with a higher heel in 2016.
Rubio noticed Barbaro’s tweet and clapped back at him in a series of responses:
BREAKING
In an unprecedented move a Republican Senator attended a rally in his home state in support of the re-election of a Republican President. https://t.co/0zC3nvJB0X
— Marco Rubio (@marcorubio) June 19, 2019
As opposed to smiling & chuckling at a rally for a radical liberal candidate for President who will undo policies to confront China,reduce regulations & taxes,defend liberty in Venezuela & protect the unborn? https://t.co/0zC3nvJB0X

BTW, this is the same reporter who in 2015 after 3 weeks of meticulous investigative journalism uncovered that my wife had traffic tickets,I had a fishing boat & my home has big windows. And in 2016 he broke the story that I had some boots with higher heel. https://t.co/0zC3nvJB0X

As Fox News correctly notes, Rubio and Trump were constantly at odds and sniping at each other as competitors for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination. But now that Trump is president, both have settled into a mostly collegial working relationship.
