One of the individuals criticizing the senator was gun security activist David Hogg, who survived the 2018 mass capturing at a Florida highschool solely to be harassed by Greene.
Other Twitter customers additionally slammed the senator.
But some individuals had questions. Lots of questions.
Some individuals identified Rubio’s historical past of hypocrisy.
Others thought Rubio had a degree, however not in the way in which he meant.
