3 checks for “Marco Rubio”

Checked by PolitiFact17 Apr 2024United States Politics and government

Marco Rubio, U.S. Senator, R-Fla.

“It's very misleading when (President Biden) says (inflation) used to be at 9%. This is compounding. It’s not like it went down from 9% to 3%. This is building month after month. The better way to think about it is that it’s 18%, 19% over the last three years.”

PolitiFact rated this: Half True

PolitiFact says: Inflation compounds and it has risen by about 19% over the last three years. However, Rubio leaves out that wages have increased faster than prices since the pandemic, and also over the past year.

“Marco Rubio is following his party bosses, like Rick Scott, with his plan to raise taxes on Florida's working families, retirees and veterans.”

PolitiFact rated this: False

PolitiFact says: Rick Scott released a plan that indicates support for raising income taxes on millions of Americans, but there is no evidence that Marco Rubio backs such tax hikes.

“Marco Rubio's 'red flag' gun confiscation bill" calls for guns to be confiscated "without due process, based on unsubstantiated accusations.”

PolitiFact rated this: Mostly False

PolitiFact says: A court could order the temporary confiscation of guns on an emergency basis if a person is judged a threat to himself or herself or others “in the near future” by possessing a gun.
