Senator Marco Rubio lashed out at Democrats for criticizing President Trump’s for filing lawsuits in several states to challenge ballot counts he believes to have been illegally altered.
Rubio appeared on “America’s Newsroom” On Thursday and said, “I laugh when the Democrats complain about that.”
“I remember in Florida we had a close Senate election,” he continued. “Chuck Schumer and his party hired a bunch of lawyers and contested it for almost 20 days because that’s what the law allows you to do.”
The Trump campaign had already filed lawsuits in key states like Michigan, Arizona, Georgia, and Nevada then on Thursday filed more affidavits in Pennsylvania.
The Senator reminded everyone that until December 14 when the Electoral College casts its vote for president, states will continue working to confirm results and in the meantime, anyone with substantial evidence of wrongdoing should come forward
“There’s nothing that the president’s doing that’s illegal or not within his legal rights,” Rubio pointed out. “That’s our laws, so I don’t know what all the freak-out is about.”
Rubio claims that if the shoe were on the other foot, Biden and his campaign would have done the same thing.
“This is the way the system works,” he said. “Let the system work so people can have confidence and our republic can move on.”
Rubio is campaigning for Republicans in the Georgia Senate runoff that will take place in January. Co-host Sandra Smith asked him if he would be making a run for president in 2024. Rubio said for now he will stay focused on getting re-elected to the Senate in 2022 but wouldn’t rule it out as he has run for president before during the 2016 election.
