Jon Stewart just wasn’t moved on Wednesday by the New York Times’ recent stories peeking into the spending of presidential candidate Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), such as the senator splurging on an $80,000 boat.
“How is this front page news?” the host of “The Daily Show” asked. “I can’t think of a single person who would be bothered by this.”
But, as it turns out, Mitt Romney’s campaign in 2012 reportedly flagged Rubio’s expenses as an issue while vetting the Florida senator for a vice presidential candidate.
“I don’t know if Mitt Romney is the guy to vet people on responsible spending,” Stewart said. “$80,000 on a boat slightly pales in comparison to $52 million dollars on a losing pipe dream.”
“At least Rubio’s got a boat to show for it,” Stewart whispered.
