TAMPA, Fla. — Sen. Marco Rubio came to Tampa on Tuesday with a closing message for his U.S. Senate reelection campaign: Democrats have ruined the country. Republicans will fix it.
Speaking at Grand Cathedral Cigars — “It smells like the front porch of my home when I was growing up,” Rubio, who is of Cuban descent, quipped early in his remarks — the senator assailed Democratic leaders for what he described as a failing economy, open borders and rampant crime.
“The Democratic Party has brought this country nothing but chaos and disorder,” Rubio told the midmorning crowd of about 60. “If we don’t stop them, they will destroy the country.”
