After the New York Times went after Marco Rubio for his traffic tickets, his paid-off student loans, and his expenses, he responded with an epic letter that even twists the knife on Hillary’s scandals. Here is the e-mail response below:
The email reads:
Dan,
Last week, our team told you about the New York Times attacking me for receiving four traffic tickets over the last 20 years. Now, today, the Times is out with a story suggesting that I’m not rich enough to be president!
According to the Times, “Rubio entered public life in a deep financial hole of his own making.” Sounds pretty bad, doesn’t it? But what exactly was this deep financial hole of my own making? My student loans! I didn’t have the money for college, so I had to take out loans. And now the Times is attacking me for it.
As I have said many times, I am not poor, but I’m not rich either. It’s true, I didn’t make over $11 million last year giving speeches to special interests. And we don’t have a family foundation that has raised $2 billion from Wall Street and foreign interests.
While we are truly blessed, Jeanette and I have to keep an eye on our family budget to send our kids to Christian schools and pay our mortgage. Like millions of Americans, I had to take out student loans to pay for college and law school, and only paid them off recently. But the biggest debt I have is to America. For this is not just the nation I was born in, it’s the country that changed the history of my family.
Look, I know these attacks are part of running for president, but the fact remains that we can’t rely on the media to tell our campaign’s story. And that’s why I need your help.
