Rubio Skips Two Classified Briefings on Paris to Raise Money on West Coast

Florida Sen. Marco Rubio missed two classified briefings on the Paris attacks Wednesday because he was raising money for his Republican presidential campaign in California, though staffers told Newsmax that he attended a Senate committee meeting on the assaults on Tuesday.

Rubio, who has been under fire for missing more than 100 votes in the last year, skipped a morning meeting of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, The Tampa Bay Times reports.

The first-term senator also bypassed an afternoon briefing with Obama administration officials for all senators that was requested by Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and other Republicans.

A Rubio staffer told Newsmax that the senator had attended a Senate Intelligence Committee session regarding the attacks on Tuesday.

    What do they both have in common? Neither one is qualified to be your president.
