Rubio Answers Questons About Family History

October 27th, 2011 by flanews

US Senator Marco Rubio is back in Florida for the first time since he began taking heat over his family history. A Rubio website had claimed his parents fled Cuba to escape Fidel Castro’s regime. Now reports are surfacing that his family left for economic reasons years before Castro took power. Rubio says it’s all being blown out of proportion.

“My parents came to this country because they were looking for a better life, but they always hoped they could return to their country, they tried but for obvious reasons they couldn’t and didn’t. So I would just say this about he whole thing. I’ve run on a couple of things but being perfect isn’t one of those things,” said Rubio.

Rubio says his story remains the same regardless of when his parents left and whether it was to escape communism or harsh economic times.
