Rubio Campaign Press Release - WATCH: Marco Rubio Explains the Absurd Media Double Standard that Conservatives Face
Marco was on Fox News's MediaBuzz with Howard Kurtz on Sunday, November 15, 2015.
Marco on the media's misinformation about his personal finances:
I think it's absurd — Mitt Romney was too rich to be president, but I'm not rich enough? That's silly. The truth is, my finances especially — maybe not anymore, but certainly the first 10, 15 years of my marriage — looked a lot more like the people I represent than the people I serve with.
And so, instead of looking at that, and understanding why that makes me so passionate about the issues facing the American people, they focus on, why didn't I follow the advice of some financial adviser who analyzed my finances and thought I should have done this instead of that.
The truth is I've invested everything we've made into my children: All four of them have their college paid off for the first four years, so they don't have to take out student loans. Today the only debt I have is my home in Miami, which is four blocks from the house that I grew up in. That's the true analysis. . . . The media's not just driven by bias, it's also driven by conflict. They want there to be scandal or a story and sometimes they make mountains out of molehills.
