While trying to take a swipe at the media, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) may have been a little more honest about his party’s handling of President Donald Trump than he intended.

Rubio tweeted on Wednesday that many Republicans won’t call out Trump “even when they don’t agree with him” because “it means siding with a media that never cuts him a break” and “in the end [the media] will still attack you anyway.”
