Two days after Senator Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) came under fire for — gasp! — tweeting Bible verses, the Florida Senator has once again taken to Twitter to spread the Word of God:
“He who answers before listening-that is his folly and his shame” Proverbs 18:13
— Marco Rubio (@marcorubio) May 18, 2017
Rubio’s tweet from early this morning shows that he was not intimidated by those who rebuked him for sharing the verses from Tuesday’s daily Mass readings with his Twitter followers:
“Commit to the Lord whatever you do & your plans will succeed.The Lord works out everything for his own ends…..”
— Marco Rubio (@marcorubio) May 16, 2017
“Peace I leave with you;my peace I give you.Not as the world gives do I give to you.Do not let your hearts be troubled or afraid.”John 14:27
— Marco Rubio (@marcorubio) May 16, 2017
Rubio’s Bible verses were apparently too much for some to take and caused his Twitter account to blow up with responses from people questioning his sanity:
@leahmcelrath @MarcACaputo @marcorubio either he was hacked or he’s totally lost it

@leahmcelrath @marcorubio eek! can someone do a welfare check on Marco? I’m…concerned.

@marcorubio My understanding – and the input from those in my mentions – is these are the Bible verses to which one turns in one’s darkest hour.

@leahmcelrath @marcorubio It’s like he’s doing an exorcism.

Rubio, however, seemed somewhat amused with the whole ordeal, even retweeting a comment which called his sharing of Bible verses “terrifying”:
Marco Rubio is tweeting out Bible verses this morning. This is oddly terrifying. https://t.co/tBZLk1on4E

Really? I triggered a @Twitter freakout by quoting the #Bible http: https://t.co/0t0kOi8Yqd

Perhaps Sen. Rubio’s critics ought to heed his latest tweet and listen more carefully before responding further — lest they get caught looking even more foolish.
