The fear of Republican presidential candidate Marco Rubio felt by liberals and the mainstream media was seen on Friday when the NY Times reported that Rubio and his wife together have a combined total of 17 traffic violations over the past 18 years. The severest of those infractions was on the level of speeding and being caught by a camera going through a red light.
According to a search of the Miami-Dade and Duval County court dockets, the Rubios have been cited for numerous infractions over the years for incidents that included speeding, driving through red lights and careless driving. A review of records dating back to 1997 shows that the couple had a combined 17 citations: Mr. Rubio with four and his wife with 13. On four separate occasions they agreed to attend remedial driving school after a violation.
Mr. Rubio’s troubles behind the wheel predate his days in politics. In 1997, when he was cited for careless driving by a Florida Highway Patrol officer, he was fined and took voluntary driving classes. A dozen years later, in 2009, he was ticketed for speeding on a highway in Duval County and found himself back in driver improvement school.
The Times also reported that Rubio had to pay $16 dollars because "a traffic camera caught him failing to stop at a red light." The liberal paper of record included the shocking account of the criminal activities of Rubio's wife, Jeanette, who was once caught by the police going 58 mph in a 35 mph zone. Even worse, Mrs. Rubio was a repeat offender. Only a year later, she was caught doing 23 mph in a 15 mph school zone.
According to the Washington Free Beacon, The Times had help exposing these major crimes of the "Rubio Gang."
The New York Times Friday report that Republican Sen. Marco Rubio (Fla.) and his wife Jeanette have been cited 17 times for traffic violations was written after the citations were pulled by liberal opposition research firm American Bridge, according to Miami-Dade County court records.
Records show that each of the citations mentioned by the New York Times were pulled in person by American Bridge operatives on May 26, 2015.
And, through my own research I learned there are more horrible scandals about Rubio coming from the NY Times. As a service to the readers of MRCTV, upon reading the report of the Rubios' traffic violations, I called my Cousin Ben, the spy (his mother wanted him to go to medical or law school, but that's a story for a different day). Ben worked for military intelligence back in the 1980's.
Ben is an expert in disguise. He is also a master in interpreting data, and the best part is he's willing to work for free. As payment, Ben demands nothing more than first dibs on the hot dogs at family barbecues hosted at my house. Knowing I needed something right away (and that July 4th only four weeks away), Ben went right to work.
Hiding inside a potted plant in their editorial conference room (see below), Ben listened to an editorial discussion about future Marco Rubio scandal reports, and emailed me a list of what's coming. As you can see with the list below, some of the scandals The Times is working on are so serious Marco is going to have a hard time staying in the race:
- Marco Rubio stole a green crayon from his kindergarten classmate Tommy (last name redacted).
- In third grade Rubio was seen riding his bicycle under the influence of apple juice packs.
- The Florida Senator once accidently broke his mother's favorite coffee mug, and covered up the crime by blaming his sister.
- On one occasion when he played football for South Miami Senior High School, Rubio cut a class to hang out with his teammates in the locker room.
There is more, but those were the worst of offenses.
Now, some might think the evils turned up by Cousin Ben were nothing but making a mountain out of a molehill. They may say that Rubio's violations are minor mistakes made by a youngster growing up.
The only appropriate response to those doubters is, "you are absolutely correct!" The only real difference between the invented minor offenses listed above and the traffic tickets "exposed" by the NY Times is that Cousin Ben's violations were the product of an imagination trying to expose The New York Times' idiocy for thinking that traffic tickets would be pertinent to the presidential race.
In their attempt to embarrass Marco Rubio, The Times did little more than embarrass itself.
