The star of “Pawn Stars” joined Fox’s Sean Hannity Tuesday to discuss his support for Marco Rubio’s candidacy following the reality star’s campaign ad on behalf of Rubio’s run for president.
“He get’s it. I mean, he understands … The number one thing that has brought people out of poverty is the ease of doing business. And it’s getting harder, harder and harder,” Harrison told Hannity.
The pawn star backed Rubio after meeting him a few times previously when Rubio visited his shop.
“There are Democrats out there who are saying that I should pay more and more taxes on all the profits I make,” asserted Harrison. “What they don’t seem to realize is, I don’t spend that money. I just reinvest it. And, you know, the majority of the time when I reinvest it in a new business or something it fails.”
Harrison has spoken out against Obama on multiple occasions, and on May 28th he hosted Rubio’s birthday party at his house in Nevada. It was co-hosted by Lt. Gov. Mark Hutchison, who is the chairman of Rubio’s Nevada campaign.
“[Rubio]’s an incredible speaker. He doesn’t need a teleprompter for everything. I also believe that Hillary will most likely implode when she has to answer a real question from the press. But, you know, Marco I really like. There are things about education that he is talking about that no one else is,” the reality star claimed.
Harrison’s ad for Rubio’s run for the White House features some bobble-heads of Obama and Hillary Clinton as well as shots of Harrison and Rubio conversing as they tour the pawn star’s shop.
Harrison first publicly endorsed Rubio on “Fox and Friends” on May 22 arguing that the candidate is a straight-shooter, pro-business and willing to put the country first.
“I’ve met him before … The entire time I talked to him he only wanted to talk about people and never mentioned the party once which was a really big deal to me … this guy honestly cares about [the] American people and free enterprise,” Harrison said on the show.
During Rubio’s tour of the famous reality show location, the presidential candidate mentioned that only in America could both the son of immigrants and someone who wishes to start a business pawning, become a success.
“Trust me. I know a good investment when I see one,” ended Harrison.
