West doesn’t rule out challenging Rubio
Saying he has a lot of concerns about the immigration reform bill backed by Sen. Marco Rubio, former Rep. Allen West didnt say no this morning when a Washington radio interviewer raised the possibility of West challenging Rubio in a 2016 GOP Senate primary.
WMAL host Larry OConnor said many tea party conservatives who helped elect Rubio in 2010 arent pleased with Rubios immigration stance. Theres a lot of people whispering maybe he should be primaried in 2016. What about an Allen West primary challenge for that Senate seat? OConnor asked.
Said West: Thats a pretty heavy lift, because youre talking about running against a sitting senator, and of course, then, that creates that schism that the other side would love to see happen.
West suggested he might run if I see people that are not taking our country down the right path, if I see people that are not standing up for the right type of principles and putting their own party politics before what is best for the United States of America
