Republican Senate candidate Marco Rubio is defending himself following reports that he charged thousands of dollars to his Florida Republican Party credit card for personal expenses ranging from car repairs to a visit to a fancy barbershop.
"These actions are an appalling act of political desperation," Rubio wrote. He acknowledged charging $109,618.45 during the period in the newspaper report, but said 89 percent of that was for "travel, lodging, fuel, car rentals and meals related to my official work for the party."
"It's clear Speaker Rubio didn't leave home without his American Express, but Florida voters, if they want someone in office they can trust with their tax dollars, need to leave Speaker Rubio at home," the e-mail said.
I think this guy just might be screwed!
