So you say you know enough to oppose it, but your campaign says you need more time to read it? Which is it? And why not show up to put your vote on record?
Via Daily Caller:
GOP presidential hopeful Marco Rubio spent the day campaigning in Iowa Friday — all while his colleagues in the Senate were passing a massive year-end spending bill he had strongly come out against.
Of the five members in the upper chamber gunning for the White House, the Florida Republican was the only candidate not to show up for the vote.
South Carolina Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham voted yes. While Republican Sens. Rand Paul of Kentucky and Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas along with Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders — who is seeking the Democratic presidential nomination — all voted against the measure.
Rubio slammed the legislation, which consists of the $1.1 trillion omnibus bill along with a $622 billion tax package, saying it would contribute to the country’s growing debt and suggested using a parliamentary procedure to stall the legislation ahead of the vote.
