Man, this guy is a ghoul. He's established the fact that he'll exploit any tragedy for a political advantage. Now he's doing it with a natural disaster. Seriously. Floridians just received an email from their senator, telling they're "quickly running out of time." No, not running out of time to prepare for Hurricane Matthew. Time to send him for money.
Here's the audio attached to the email (transcript below):
Seriously, he's taking two and a half minutes out of Floridians' scary and hectic day to tell them sending his money is a "hands on deck situation" of the "upmost importance" and that "I hope and pray" they send money right away. Because "our way of life could be gone for good," not because of this monster storm that's about to devastate the state, but because Patrick Murphy might be him and Democrats might win the Senate.
If you live in the evacuation zone, do not take the time to listen to this audio message. Get out. If you don't live in Florida and are appalled at the latest from this little ghoul, do what he says, scroll down and take action.
Can you pitch in with $3 to help Patrick Murphy oust Rubio once and for all?
Marco Rubio's presidential dreams crashed and burned. Now, let's make sure he also loses the U.S. Senate race. Sign up to get out the vote for Patrick Murphy.
Hello this is Senator Marco Rubio.
First let me thank you for taking the time to listen to my message.
As you know we are facing the most important election of our lifetime. if we lose this election, our way of life could be gone for good.
And that's why I'm recording this special message just for you today, and I hope and pray that you'll respond right away.
So here's the situation. I'm the one candidate standing in the Democrat's [sic] way of taking control of the United States Senate.
And the Democrats, they know that and they're pouring millions into Florida to tarnish my campaign and ultimately to defeat me.
Our future's on the line here—we cannot afford to lose.
But if I'm going to win Florida—and if we're going to keep the United States Senate in Republican hands—I'm going to need your help, and I'm going to need it right now.
You see national Democrats, helped of course by the elite media—they've not spent over 10 million dollars attacking me and the conservative values that you and I share.
Now if you don't live in Florida, you probably haven't seen these relentless attacks on me and my campaign. But I can assure you, that the attacks they're making are false.
But I have to respond to these attacks, and to do that I need the help of good conservative Republicans whether you live in Florida or not, to step up right now and help me defeat the Democrats.
I hope you, after you finish listening to this message, will stand with me by making a critical donation to my campaign.
This is truly a hands on deck situation and it is the upmost importance.
You see, I don't need to raise 10 million dollars today because I have the American people on my side.
We have courageous conservatives, and independents, and even some well-meaning democrats [sic], all building a grassroots army to win this campaign.
But I do need to raise enough money to fund my campaign, to respond to these false attacks, and to get my conservative message across to the voters of Florida, and we're quickly running out of time to do that.
This is the ultimate test of my campaign, and I'm really counting on your support right now.
I need you to scroll down right now and make an immediate donation to my campaign if you can.
If you can donate $100 or more, I would be forever grateful. Or if, for you, $35 or even $5 is a sacrificial gift, I'll be just as grateful.
I know you've done a lot already, and I wouldn't ask if it wasn't this important. This really is a battle for our country's future. And so I hope you'll join me in fighting it today by making an immediate contribution below right now.
We have got to win this—our country's future depends on it.
Thank you, and God Bless [sic]. [emphasis and grammatical errors in the original]
