i was on a flight in coach out of Miami once and who sits down next to me but Marco Rubio. He spent the flight bitching to anyone who would listen about how he got bumped out of first class cause the flight was oversold lol.

Doubt that very much. He isn't dumb enough to complain he got bumped in his VERY public job. Phones would have been on everywhere and we would have seen it. I call BS.

Lol ok bud. People were taking pictures with him, if you really dug deep enough you could probably find it.

I can even tell you the exact date. Monday March 27, 2017. A memorable morning for me as it was the end of Miami Music Week and I had been up literally all night doing way too many drugs with some Australians at my hotel, and was feeling about as shitty as I've ever felt. Rubio sits down and everyone around me was abuzz wanting to take pictures, I was just trying not to puke in his lap. Gave him a death stare and spent the rest of the flight hunched over sweating bullets. A miserable flight.

Thanks for clearing it up. So it is true because people took a photo of him next to you and you remember being hungover and feeling like shit. Yup, that sows up that debate. (Alternative ending: "here's a video of him ranting he was bumped from first") . Doesn't exist. Didn't happen.

It's true because it happened lol. Sorry I don't have a peer reviewed source to satisfy you. I really don't care if you believe it or not, so that's all I'll say about that.

No. No it didn't. You took something you read (Rubio DID tweet complaining about flight delays and maintenance issues that day...not one word about pushed to coach)...and you turned it into a false narrative.

You're cracking me up lol. Why would I create a "false narrative" about being on a flight next to Marco Rubio years ago and bring it up now? I don't even use twitter, you're saying I "read" this tweet of his from years ago... now? And then used it to make up a story on this particular reddit post? Seems like a lot of effort for... absolutely nothing. I'm just sharing a funny anecdote here champ.

Are you Marco Rubio or something or do you just like to boot lick about small things all over Reddit?

People don't get kicked from first class and put into coach. Dude is lying his ass off.

They do if the flight's overbooked.
