The Miami Herald editorial board roasted Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) this week for his pathetic response to President Donald Trumps latest racist outrages.

In a blistering op-ed published Sunday, the board said it was impossible to believe that Rubio was once hailed as The Savior of the Republican Party on a Time magazine cover.

Although Rubio has mildly criticized Trumps recent attacks on four congresswomen of color, he also sparked ire by lashing out at the way Democratic politicians and the media have responded.

The Heralds board lamented how Rubio was supposed to be a rising star who would help shake up the GOP after the disastrous election of 2012.

Rubio, far from the Republicans savior, seems just another slick politician with his finger in the wind pushing the party deeper into Trumps swamp, the board wrote.
