Pendejo Marco Rubio

After returning from Europe a union activist found him at a political science class he co-teaches at Florida International University, then another guy said he saw him and asked him if he was ok. He was worried because he has seen him on Missing Poster all over town.
He asked him if was going to host a town hall? But Rubio hustled away. here

Florida GOP Matt Gaetz Has A Plan

The thought has crossed Gaetz's mind that protests could completely disrupt him from being able to speak at all at his town hall. So he's created what his staffers call the "non-verbal town hall," reminiscent of a scene from the movie "Love Actually." Gaetz has printed out part of a speech that gets some of his message across onto giant boards that he will hold up if he is unable to get a word in. here

Florida's Culture Of Corruption: Matt Gaetz

Florida GOP Gaetz’s bill to completely abolish the U.S.Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). came the day after a Senate committee voted in favor of confirming Scott Pruitt, the fossil fuel-friendly attorney general of Oklahoma who has sued the EPA 14 times, to head the agency. here
----------------------------------------
Since 2010, Gaetz’s political campaigns have received $28,000 directly from fossil fuel companies and energy utilities, according to data compiled by the National Institute on Money in State Politics. These donors include the corporate PACs of utilities including Duke Energy, Gulf Power, NextEra Energy, Progress Energy, Southern Company, and Teco Energy; oil and gas companies Chevron, Exxon, and Koch Industries; and individual donors including the CEO of Gulf Power and the CEO of Global Industries and Dore Energy.
In 2016, as Gaetz ran for his first term in Congress, a super PAC supporting him received a $100,000 donation from Harness Oil and Gas, a Texas-based company reportedly run by family friends. This super PAC, North Florida Neighbors, spent over $460,000, the bulk of its total expenditures during that election cycle, supporting Gaetz.
