Marco Rubio Praises Deadly Blizzard That Has Killed 31 People

Written by SK Ashby

Winter Storm Jonas, a storm that dumped nearly 3 feet of snow in some locations and killed 31 people so far, may be the best thing since sliced bread according to GOP presidential candidate and sometimes-senator Marco Rubio.

Mr. Rubio, campaigning in New Hampshire on Friday, joked that the storm is “probably one of the best things to happen to the republic in quite a while” because it temporarily prevented the federal government from issuing new regulations and President Obama from signing executive orders.

Ha! Get it? Because if a snow storm paralyzes Washington, the government can't do something else deadly like protect the nation's streams from pollution or protect consumers from exploding hoverboards.

A snow storm does not actually prevent federal agencies from functioning in other parts of the country or prevent the president from signing executive orders, but Rubio is on a roll here.

Thanks for that, Marco.
