Obviously, I don’t agree with his comments. His comments were distasteful and unfortunate, and I think the decision he has made probably endangers the ability to Republicans to take that seat, and Republicans to take the majority in the Senate.

I would join other voices out there from Sarah Palin to Mitch McConnell, who have advised him to put his country before his candidacy. –U.S. Senator Marco Rubio
