At a conference marked by MAGA caps and periodic chants of "Let's go, Brandon!" Sen. Marco Rubio (R–Fla.) this morning opted for an earnest appeal.
"The American Revolution—what was revolutionary about it was it had this audacious idea that rights were from God, not from a government," he said from the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) main stage in Orlando. "The founders of this nation understood that human nature was, if they ever got power, there would always be people that would want to make everybody else live, think, say the things they wanted them to say, and do the things they wanted them to do. And they built protections against it. Because none of us are immune from it."
