Senator Marco Rubio, a Republican from Florida, makes opening remarks during a Senate Foreign Relations subcommittee hearing in Washington, D.C., U.S., on Wednesday, July 13, 2016. I stand by every word of that, even more so after Rubio's latest comments on LGBT rights to a virulently anti-LGBT group. But why did Rubio feel compelled to even fake support for LGBT rights? But literally the day before the event last Friday a new poll showed Rubio's 13-point lead against Democratic Congressman Patrick Murphy had evaporated, with the two in a statistical time. With a big lead Rubio could slough off the criticism and continue his hardline stance on LGBT Issues.
