Florida Senator Marco Rubio (R) thinks the latest Trump indictments out of Georgia are amateur hour.
According to a post on X (formerly Twitter), the Sunshine State Senator called the work of DA Fani Willis a “third-world spectacle.”
Rubio’s comments came in a Tuesday morning social media post on X. He wrote: “The latest Trump indictment in Georgia was prematurely posted online, announced at a late-night press conference & cites an election night ‘victory speech’ as the first act of a conspiracy A 3rd world spectacle carried out by a local prosecutor with political ambitions that far exceed her professionalism.”

From AP News:
The nearly 100-page indictment details dozens of acts by Trump or his allies to undo his defeat, including beseeching Georgia’s Republican secretary of state to find enough votes for him to win the battleground state; harassing an election worker who faced false claims of fraud; and attempting to persuade Georgia lawmakers to ignore the will of voters and appoint a new slate of electoral college electors favorable to Trump.
In one particularly brazen episode, it also outlines a plot involving one of his lawyers to access voting machines in a rural Georgia county and steal data from a voting machine company.
“The indictment alleges that rather than abide by Georgia’s legal process for election challenges, the defendants engaged in a criminal racketeering enterprise to overturn Georgia’s presidential election result,” Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, whose office brought the case, said at a late-night news conference.
