MSNBC host Stephanie Ruhle confronted Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) during an interview on Friday morning about his tweet accusing the media of being delighted about the number of COVID-19 cases in the U.S.
Ruhle read aloud the first half of the tweet, in which Rubio claimed that “some in our media can’t contain their glee and delight in reporting that the U.S. has more #CoronaVirus cases than #China” and that they were engaging in “grotesque” and “bad” journalism.
“I need to ask you this because I’m a journalist,” the anchor said. “We’re not just some personalities. You called out journalism. And I need to understand why on Earth you did this.”
Rubio defended the tweet, claiming that there were “some journalists that were doing exactly what I said.”
Ruhle pointed out that despite the GOP senator’s argument that the time needed to deal with the coronavirus shouldn’t be wasted on pointing fingers, “that’s exactly what you did in that tweet.”

M.T. Suitio says what?
Put up or shut up, Marco.
Post a clip on your Twitter feed of these journalists expressing “glee and delight” at the number of U.S. coronavirus cases. Guess what…you can’t, because it never happened, just like the thousands of Mooslims in New Jersey that the Orange Menace claims were cheering and celebrating the 9/11 attacks.
I fail to understand why the MSM doesn’t just challenge these GOP idiots to provide a shred of evidence for their outrageous claims. (“Many people are saying”…for you to f*ck yourself.)
It’s what Trumpy the Clown’s lickspittle lackeys do, Stephanie.
Rubio is trying - and failing - to conflate probable satire and cartoons with actual hard journalistic reporting of facts. The notion that American journalists are in fact gleeful is nonsense. Li’l Marco is being slippery…again.
