Marco Rubio showed his true colors on Saturday by sharing a photo of him and the late Elijah Cummings to pay tribute to the late Rep. John Lewis (D-GA) – a beloved civil rights icon.
Rubio took to Twitter where he shared a photo of him and Cummings with a message that read: “It was an honor to know & be blessed with the opportunity to serve in Congress with John Lewis, a genuine and historic American hero. May the Lord grant him eternal peace.”
Rubio has since deleted the tweet but you can see it below:
It didn’t take long for Rubio to get ripped by Twitter users. Take a look at some of the responses below:

Have Marco Rubio and John Lewis ever been photographed together? As a Senate office panics, an internet search returns no clear answer.

There was a brief period a decade ago when many pundits claimed Marco Rubio would be the future of the GOP, and in a way, they weren't wrong at all.
