The second-term Florida Republican believes fringe members of the GOP pose less of a threat to America than staffers for the Democratic Party, who he says “come from a different world.”
“There are people throughout the American political spectrum that have all kinds of ideas, including people who claim to be Republicans, but I don’t agree with their ideas. And in some cases, I think their ideas might be dangerous,” Rubio said Wednesday on the Adam Carolla podcast.
“But that’s not what we’re talking about here. What we’re talking about here is a Democratic Party whose donor base and activist base and, frankly, staff base — the people that work their campaigns — come from a different world. They’re generally more affluent, increasingly non-minority,” Rubio said, not offering substantiation for this sweeping assertion.

Rubio went on to attack Democrats for “prioritizing social issues and transgender rights.”
The latest: ‘They have the luxury to prioritize some other issues.’
‘Dangerous’ Republicans don’t worry @MarcoRubio nearly as much as Democratic staffers, who ‘come from a different world’
