Rubio Reflexively Blames 'Both Sides' For Violence At Trump Rallies
They just can't stop themselves. No matter how badly Republicans behave, they are absolutely incapable of admitting they've done anything wrong without trying to play the "both sides" are equally to blame game, or as our own Driftglass calls it, the Big Lie of Centrism.
Here he is on CNN's State of the Union doing just that when host Jake Tapper asked him his concerns over the escalating violence at these Trump rallies:
In an interview with CNN's Jake Tapper on "State of the Union," Rubio said Trump "has turned the most important election in a generation into a circus, into a complete fiasco and a carnival."
Tapper asked: "Would I be overstating matters if I said you sound like you're actually concerned that somebody -- before this is all over -- somebody might lose their life?
Rubio said: "I'm very concerned about that. We don't know what's going to happen next here. I know that we've reached the point where people in American politics have decided that if they don't agree with you, they can get angry at you, that you're a bad and evil person, that they can say anything they want about you."
