Host of MSNBC’s “The Ed Show,” Ed Schultz, ranted about Sen. Marco Rubio’s criticism of Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid, going so far as to say that Rubio is “not a true American” for his criticism of the social welfare programs and his refusal to appear on Schultz’s show.
After an impassioned defense of “big three” government programs, Schultz concluded with a shot at Rubio and the Tea Party:
And with that, Schultz engages in exactly the kind of rhetoric which, applied to President Obama, he would denounce as racist. Especially that bit about how Rubio, the son of Cuban immigrants, isn’t a “true American.” If anyone (say, Newt Gingrich), were to mention President Obama’s Kenyan background, Schultz would accuse that person (Newt Gingrich) of trying to “convince America that President Obama is not an American,” call him a “fear-merchant,” and say that he had done “irreversible damage to a lot of low information voters.”
