Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) tried to score political points Wednesday only to have Twitter users brutally mock him for his hypocrisy.
It all started when the Florida Republican criticized President-elect Joe Biden’s deputy chief of staff, Jen O’Malley Dillon, who talked to Glamour magazine about Biden’s desire to work with Republicans.
“In the primary, people would mock [Biden], like, ‘You think you can work with Republicans?’ I’m not saying they’re not a bunch of fuckers. Mitch McConnell is terrible, but this sense that you couldn’t wish for that, you couldn’t wish for this bipartisan ideal? He rejected that.”
“From start to finish, he set out with this idea that unity was possible, that together we are stronger, that we, as a country, need healing, and our politics needs that too.”
But Rubio apparently didn’t read the whole comment. Instead, he stopped to clutch his pearls over Dillon’s suggestion that GOP politicians may not be paragons of virtue.
Biden talks about unity and healing, but you want to know what they really think?

Rubio’s attempted takedown of Dillon didn’t go so well.
It seems many Twitter users thought his critique over the word “fuckers” was hypocritical, especially since he became perhaps the first presidential candidate to joke about the size of another candidate’s penis during a presidential debate in 2016.
Oh, and how people piled on.
People who stood by Donald Trump for the last four years are now claiming to be offended that a Democratic campaign manager used a curse word? I don't think so.

Marco Rubio ended his embarrassing failure of a Presidential campaign talking about the size of Donald Trump’s penis so perhaps he shouldn’t be taken seriously as an arbiter of decorum in American politics. https://t.co/k04EsLmvsn

Says the guy who literally said nary a word when @RepTedYoho referred to @aoc—a specific, sitting member of Congress—as a “f**king b**ch.” https://t.co/pWMCBIiGmR

If Republicans hadn’t spent 4 years genuflecting to a guy who boasted of grabbing a woman by the pussy, who said immigrants from Africa and Latin America came from “shit-holes”, who called Black athletes taking a knee, “sons-of-bitches”...maybe then, this would be a valid point. https://t.co/TTPoSAeBor

I’m speaking to you in a low and steady voice right now, just the way anybody would talk to an insane person. Are you ok? Are you looking past the Senate and thinking of trying to beat out @ZacEfron for the Bundy role in the next biopic? Are you trying to showcase sociopathy https://t.co/RctQyOjxsZ

Incredible, though not surprising, how a political movement that proclaimed its desire to drink the tears of its perceived enemies is now whining incessantly about its victimhood. https://t.co/KCjANxhCF1

two things can be true at the same time. The description of Republicans in Congress is accurate as they've proved time and time again and for the sake of the country the two parties have to work together to make progress. That's what leadership is all about. Country before party https://t.co/fZTaEmZ3mP

Wow this is shocking. Remember, the current president’s politicization of everything and classifying of the other party and it’s voters in big cities as enemies doesn’t matter. But a senior Biden staffer matters more than what Biden says 👇🏽 https://t.co/4HCZHlhm7t

Let's see if I've got this right: The right wing in this country is apparently VERY distraught about [checks notes]... This can't be right... Namecalling?

Sorry, we do not apologize to traitors and seditionists.
Fucker is actually nicer word for them.
I better not hear an apology.— Michelangelo Signorile (@MSignorile) December 17, 2020
