How Marco Rubio Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Trump

In the midst of a contentious recount of the election results in Florida this past month, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) began tweeting his suspicions that Democrats were trying to game the system, even suggesting that they were producing voters out of thin air in an attempt to flip the race for since-defeated Sen. Bill Nelson (D-FL).

The missives were frequent and often conspiratorial, so much so that several associates of Rubio said they suspected a staffer had to be authoring them under his name.


His deputy chief of staff Dan Holler dismissed the ghost authorship idea to The Daily Beast. “He most certainly is” writing his tweets, he said. But the doubts underscored a wider confusion over the role Rubio’s adopted in the era of Donald Trump.
