Today’s example of “out of touch” Republicans.
In October, when, during a question-and-answer session for young professionals at Anselm College in New Hampshire, Marco Rubio was asked with which non-politicians he would like to sit down and have a beer, his first two choices were reasonable, retired professional football star Dan Marino and Russian chess master Garry Kasparov, a sportsman to emphasize machismo, and a chess champion to stress intelligence.
But, then he continued and added, “I can never pronounce her last name, but…Malala?”
The fact that Malala Yousafzai is only 18 years old and a Muslim did not seem to dawn on him.
Either that, or he was willing to contribute to the delinquency of a minor by giving her a beer, and then , in spite of his personal religiosity, was willing to have her violate her religions prohibition against intoxicating beverages.
Traditional and family values, I guess.
