Well, he's done it again. Today Sen. Marco Rubio voted against the Violence Against Women Act, this time despite the fact that it also included human trafficking legilslation that he co-sponsored.
When he recently stated that he was in favor of women in combat, perhaps this is what he actually meant?
In spite of Rubio, it passed with a vote of 78-22. Sen. Bill Nelson (D-FL) voted in favor. Rubio claimed that he objected to the way the bill affected state spending decisions.
It's always "about the spending" with Rubio, be it a gay, undocumented or native American woman being beaten and abused, or a Hurricane victim who has lost everything and then some, it makes no difference to him. Being a self-proclaimed pays for home improvements via GOP credit card "fiscal conservative" means never having to lift a finger to help anyone else.
Joining Rubio in a "no" vote:
Republicans John Barrasso (Wyo.), Roy Blunt (Mo.), John Boozman (Ark.), Tom Coburn (Okla.), John Cornyn (Texas), Ted Cruz (Texas), Mike Enzi (Wyo.), Lindsey Graham (S.C.), Chuck Grassley (Iowa), Orrin Hatch (Utah), James Inhofe (Okla.), Mike Johanns (Neb.), Ron Johnson (Wisc.), Mike Lee (Utah), Mitch McConnell (Ky.), Rand Paul (Ky.), Jim Risch (Idaho), Pat Roberts (Kansas), and Jeff Sessions (Ala.)
