A Democratic super PAC on Saturday openly mocked Sen. Marco Rubio over his interest in UFOs, taunting the Florida Republican and dubbing him “a space cadet” and “rocket man.”
In a fundraising email, the Florida-based group Retire Rubio tried to raise money off of Mr. Rubio‘s stance on unidentified flying objects. Mr. Rubio — along with a host of other lawmakers and public officials of both parties — is eagerly awaiting an upcoming report from the Pentagon and intelligence agencies that is expected to shed light on what the government knows about UFOs.
But some Florida Democrats evidently believe Mr. Rubio is wrong to take the issue seriously.
“It’s time to send this space cadet home. Chip in $7.00 and help him 3, 2, 1 blast off,” the email says. “Someone needs to tell Marco Rubio that the Republican Party is a more imminent threat to the United States than UFOs.”
The fundraising pitch concludes with: “Let’s send rocket man elsewhere.”
