Well you know, Joy, a long time ago someone told me I`d rather see a sermon in a day than to hear one. So Rubio can send out all of the bible verses that he wants to. We`re looking at not what he says but what he does. We`re talking about a man, as you`ve indicated, thank you for bringing it up, who has not said one word to denounce white supremacist since he`s been in office, by the way. We`re talking about a man who voted against an independent commission that would investigate the insurrection that occurred on 1/6. And so, again, we know them by the fruits that they bear. Rubio has not delivered. And, as you know, that is exactly why I am running. Florida deserves better.
