Marco Rubio is going to be getting a double dose of hit pieces over the next two years. One is for him being in the Trump administration. The other is for him being a potential 2028 presidential candidate. Whether or not this silly piece of Washington Post journalism was leaked to them from the left or a potential opponent on the right is unclear, but it appears someone is upset Marco Rubio goes to too many of his son's college football games.

Anthony Rubio is a running back for the Florida Gators. The Secretary of State can't fly commercial. OOOOOH, SCANDAL!

From Sport and State's article about the WaPo article (because why pay for a WaPo subscription when I don't have to) Rubio has attended at least 10 Florida games using a government-funded plane. The newspaper estimates his trips to the city have cost taxpayers approximately $1.2 million.

WaPo also notes that Rubio previously requested an investigation into former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg‘s use of government aircraft. That’s absolutely true. It’s also absolutely true that Buttigieg wasn’t required to fly aboard government aircraft.

Federal rules require Rubio to reimburse the government for personal travel based on comparable commercial airfare. The State Department maintains that his use of government aircraft is necessary for security, secure communications and continuity of operations.

Outside of trying to work the hypocrisy that S&S dismantled, the rest is equal parts meant to imply something something corruption and "oh, I thought conservatives opposed wasteful government spending."

I get the attempt. And maybe it'll work on the most bitterest of leftist voters who work in media and the democrat party (but I repeat myself) and don't understand normal people.

The average person is going to see "father and son" and "college football" and respond with some version of "hell yeah, brother."

Democrats just elected someone who defrauded taxpayers of $7 million meant for child nutrition, and that's just one example in one state (Minnesota). WaPo ain't got time for that.

The Secretary of State - specifically, the REPUBLICAN Secretary of State - using a government plane that he HAS TO USE so he can support his son, however, WaPo is all over.

Side note: Americans regularly list journalism as the least trusted institution in America.
