While speaking with Fox News' "Special Report" host Bret Baier on Monday, Rubio was asked why Republicans were not expressing the same degree of outrage they displayed when it was disclosed that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's had used a private email server while working for the White House.
"Well first of all, I don't know what's true and what's not, because they've made up so many stories about Donald Trump over the years that I mean things that I just knew were flat out untrue," Rubio said.
The Florida senator, who is up for reelection in November, argued that the situation with Clinton's emails was different because it was handled by the federal government and not disclosed by the media.
According to an excerpts from an upcoming book written by New York Times White House correspondent Maggie Haberman, White House staffers regularly found documents clogging the toilet in the White House residence during Trump's time in office.
"Nowadays, in the mainstream media, you just need one source to smear Donald Trump and maybe you don't even need that. So it's hard to tell anymore what really happened and what didn't. The documents that were in Mar-a-Lago by all accounts were turned over," Rubio said.
"Look, if the process wasn't followed there, then that there needs to be something that happens about that. It's not a crime, I don't believe, but the stuff about flushing paper down the toilet — who knows if that's even true?"
Marco should have checked his own website for the hyperbolic accusations he leveled against Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. In 2016 Rubio was comfortable with using FOX News as his single source to smear Hillary Clinton.

Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) today issued the following statement regarding the FBI’s decision in the Hillary Clinton email probe:
“The FBI concluded what many Americans have known for quite some time, which is that Hillary Clinton’s conduct as Secretary of State and her mishandling of classified information was disgraceful and unbecoming of someone who aspires to the presidency. There is simply no excuse for Hillary Clinton's decision to set up a home-cooked email system which left sensitive and classified national security information vulnerable to theft and exploitation by America’s enemies. Her actions were grossly negligent, damaged national security and put lives at risk.
"Hillary Clinton's actions have sent the worst message to the millions of hard-working federal employees who hold security clearances and are expected to go to great lengths to secure sensitive government information and abide by the rules. They don't take their oaths lightly, and we shouldn't expect any less of their leaders.
"Hillary Clinton’s reckless and thoughtless mishandling of classified information is not the end of the story however. It’s only a matter of time before the next shoe drops and the nexus of corruption and controversy that has surrounded Hillary Clinton throughout her time in public office produces yet another scandal for the American people to endure. Given the consequential and challenging times in which we live, America simply cannot afford any more Clinton drama."
Marco Rubio is a hypocritical snake who has been bullied into into lying for Mr. Trump. A glaring double standard.
Florida deserves better next November.
