Write A Caption: Ray Sansom & Marco Rubio Edition

Republicans are going to regret giving the indicted Ray Sansom a standing ovation.

This classic Marco Rubio quote from January is cringe-inducing.

"Ray Sansom is a high quality person. He's one of the best people I ever interacted with in the legislative process. ... He's in the middle of a process, and he'll have to let the process go through,'' the Miami Republican said when asked if Sansom should step down as Speaker for the good of the legislature and his party. "He understands he's got a perception problem. ... It comes down to his ability to his ability to focus on the job, and if he can focus on the job then I don't think it's a problem."

There is two ways to interpret Rubio's statement. The literal version is Rubio is so naive he actually believes Sansom is "one of the best people" he worked with in the Florida legislature. The cynical version is Rubio is bullshitting to help maintain GOP damage control. Pick your poison. Neither interpretation distinguishes Rubio as a public servant.
