They don’t like Marco Rubio. They meaning the left and the Trump right. It’s sort of a shared hate. At bat today, though, is the left.
They hate it when he tweets Bible verses. They hate that he participated in Ash Wednesday. In fact, they hate everything about his faith.
Sure they pretend they are criticizing him for failing to adhere to his faith, but anyone who has witnessed the cavalier and crude way that people who hate religious people on the right knows the truth. They hate the faith itself.
Take, for example, this despicable protest sign from today’s #MarchForOurLives rally.
This #MarchForOurLives attacks Marco Rubio for his Catholic faith and draws a blood cross on his forehead. pic.twitter.com/4zrhlkQreN

That is truly repugnant.
The “point”, if it can be called that, is that Rubio’s participation in Ash Wednesday was disingenuous because he doesn’t support total gun confiscation, which the left spends 50% of their time claiming not to support and the other 50% trying to implement.
They call him a “kid killer.” Just like a Parkland student did.
In case you don’t know this, Marco Rubio hasn’t killed any kids.
That’s the left, though. And the adults have passed that on to the kids who spoke today. Radical, militant, angry people spitting on prayer and drawing bloody crosses on foreheads.
It is hardly necessary to say “imagine them doing this with an Islamic crescent” but I’m saying it anyway. Because they wouldn’t DARE. And if a right-winger did, they’d be accused of hate and Islamaphobia.
But the left gets away with it. Because the media is on their side.
