Little Marco Called Out for Wild Hypocrisy on Hurricane Milton

Senator Marco Rubio posted on X Monday to warn users of the severity of Hurricane Milton, an explosively intensifying Category 5 storm that is expected to make landfall in Florida in the coming days.

“Several years ago I asked @NHC_Atlantic to show me what the worst case storm hitting Florida would look like,” Rubio wrote, tagging the National Hurricane Center. “What they showed me back then is almost identical to the #Milton forecast now.”

Rubio included an image of a map, showing the forecasted storm surge from Hurricane Milton across Florida’s western coast.

While Rubio’s post functioned as explicit evidence of worsening extreme weather, as journalist Aaron Rupar pointed out, the senator has been extremely dismissive of climate change in the past.

that was given to him "several years ago," and he doesn't do anytghing about it. Where is his work on prepping for this?? ALWAYS on someone ELSE. He only holds people accountable while never being part of the solution.

What an odd post by Rubio.
