Rubio Warns Senate: American Republic Is Flirting On The Verge Of Chair Throwing Here

In the wake of Sen. Elizabeth Warren being silenced during the Sessions debate and the general political climate, Sen. Marco Rubio warned that the American republic was teetering on the brink of "becoming a society incapable of having debates."





SEN. MARCO RUBIO: I can tell you this with full confidence. If one of my colleagues on this side of the aisle had done that, I would like to think I would be one of people objecting and here's why:



Turn on the news and watch these parliaments around the world where people throw chairs at each other. And punches. And ask yourself, how does that make you feel about those countries? It doesnt give you a lot of confidence about those countries.



I'm not arguing that we're anywhere near there tonight -- but we're flirting with it. We're flirtng with it in this body and we are flirting with it in this country.



We are becoming a society incapable of having debates anymore...



Here's what I hear almost automatically from both sides of those debate: Immediately, as soon as you offer an idea, the other side jumps and says the reason you say that it you don't care about poor people, or you only care about rich people, you're this, that or the other.



I'm just telling you guys, we are reaching a point in this Republic where we are not going to be able to solve the simplest of issues.
