Marco Rubio And Other Republicans' Hypocrisy Will Haunt Them For Years To Come
In 2016 Rubio said, "I don’t think we should be moving forward with a nominee in the last year of this president’s term...I would say that even if it was a Republican president.”
It's 2020 and he's saying the opposite of what he said then:
Last night 52 legitimately elected U.S. Senators cast 52 legitimate votes to confirm a legitimately elected President’s highly qualified nominee to the Supreme Court of the United States.

And was immediately slammed for it by Florida Democrats, with Rep. Ted Deutch issuing this statement:
“This is a shameful day for the United States Senate. Senate Republicans have cut at the historic dignity of the chamber with a partisan vote that so egregiously and intentionally disregards the will of the American people. This sprint to confirm a justice to a lifetime appointment shows how little respect they have for our democratic process and the American people.
And he directed some venom at colleagues from his home state.
