Independent Journalism in Miami Needs You
We need to raise $10,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
Marco Rubio didn’t exactly have the nicest things to say about either Miami rapper Pitbull or the field of science in his interview with GQ published yesterday. He claimed Pit wasn’t a poet, and cast doubt on generally accepted science that the earth is 4.5 billion years old. He’s since issued something of a clarification.
No, not about that silly science stuff, but about Pitbull.
Oh, how nice, he even got some publicity for his memoir in there.
Rubio, though, hasn’t addressed the controversy over calling the age of the Earth “one of the great mysteries” despite the fact that the question isn’t all that much of a mystery at all to scientists.
