Peter King slams Marc Rubio

[icenine]

If you want to be President it means you want to be the leader of the whole nation. You cannot be just a cipher for a political wing of your party. This may prove to be a very damaging for the Florida senator if he does decide to run in 2016:

New York Representative King on Morning Joe this morning. Quote:

Rep. Peter King (R-N.Y.) slammed Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) Friday for going to New York to raise money after voting against Sandy aid.

"And by the way, guys like Marco Rubio in Florida. All the money that your people have gotten in Florida over the years from every hurricane that came along," King said on MSNBC's "Morning Joe." "And this guy has the nerve to vote against money for New York and then come up here and try to raise money. You know, he can forget it."

"I made it clear any of those people who voted and postured against money coming to New York and New Jersey and comes up here and wants to take money out of our pockets -- forget it, stay home," he said.

King softened the blow by adding that he thought Rubio would be a "great candidate" in 2016. But when asked directly if he would "forgive and forget," King said, "No, I won’t. And I never will."

This shows exactly what is wrong with Rubio and the Tea Party. Guys like King and Christie seem to be disappearing from the GOP.
