Internet Torches Marco Rubio Over Bible Tweet That Perfectly Describes Trump In a recent incident that has garnered significant attention, Republican senator Marco Rubio attempted to tweet a Bible verse that inadvertently drew the ire of social media users. His tweet referenced Proverbs 6:16-19, outlining seven behaviors that the LORD despises, including "arrogant eyes," "a lying tongue," and "hands that shed innocent blood." Rubio's intention seemed to be to showcase his piety, but the timing and content of his tweet sparked backlash. Critics quickly pointed out that each of the abominations he listed could easily be associated with none other than Donald Trump. This juxtaposition led to a flurry of tweets mocking Rubio, suggesting that he had effectively written a description of Trump himself. Many social media users reflected on Trump’s controversial actions, from his divisive rhetoric to his tumultuous personal life, juxtaposing those with the characteristics outlined in the scripture. The internet was quick to notice the irony: a senator attempting to admonish bad behavior while seemingly endorsing a president who epitomizes those very traits. The situation raised questions about Rubio's motives—whether he was merely tone-deaf or if there was a more subtle message directed at Trump. Still, it resulted in Rubio being further ridiculed, portraying him as not only out of touch but also as lacking a backbone in standing up to Trump.
