To listen to Republican after Republican, from Speaker Paul Ryan to Sen. John McCain, issue doleful statements decrying Donald Trump’s attack on the Gold Star parents of the late Capt. Humayun Khan is to hear the forewarning bell toll of infamy. Surely, history will remember who stood, to the end, with Donald Trump in his bizarre and divisive quest for the presidency. History will record their names.
There’s Florida’s junior senator, Marco Rubio, who issued a tepid rebuke, days into Trump’s attacks on the Khans, calling it an “unfortunate feud” on the same day he told his supporters, “We have to make sure that Donald wins this election.” Rubio once called Trump a “dangerous con man.” But today, both his re-election in Florida and his prospects for running for president again in 2020 are tied to Trump’s fortunes in his state. And so Rubio demurs.
