Washington, D.C. – Hypocrite Florida Congresswoman Val Demings is quick to cast a stone at Senator Marco Rubio, but she needs to take a look at her own record.

As reported by McClatchy, “In 2017 and 2018, Demings, a congresswoman from Orlando, voted against large legislative packages that would have delivered aid to hurricane-affected areas like Florida and Puerto Rico, arguing the relief efforts either didn’t go far enough or were paired with legislative measures that she opposed.

Both measures — one including tax provisions meant for victims affected by a trio of recent hurricanes and another including aid to help Puerto Rico recover from Hurricane Maria — were ultimately approved with bipartisan support, despite Demings’ opposition.”

Statement from NRSC Spokeswoman Priscilla Ivasco:“Val Demings needs to check herself before firing up criticism against Senator Marco Rubio. Demings’ record shows exactly what we’ve known all along, she is just another D.C. Democrat who will only care for the people of Florida when it is politically beneficial for her. Floridians don’t need another hypocrite in Washington, they need a real leader like Senator Rubio who fights for necessary funding and holds Washington accountable.”
