Marco Rubio loves Wu-Tang Clan, especially...y’know, the kinda tall one

Republican presidential hopeful Sen. Marco Rubio dropped by the Fox News studio this week to chat up the ladies of Outnumbered, Fox News’ right-leaning facsimile of The View, in which everyone is the Elisabeth of the panel. Rubio defended his record on immigration, insisting he didn’t flip-flop by disavowing a comprehensive immigration reform measure he once supported. “We do have to address this issue,” Rubio said. “The only thing I am arguing differently than what I did three years ago is that we can’t do it in one single step.” But just when Rubio thought he’d dodged the tough questions about the integrity of his positions, Outnumbered co-host Andrea Tantaros caught him with an unexpected haymaker, pressing him to choose a favorite member of Wu-Tang Clan.
Rubio first acknowledged his awareness of the legendary hip hop collective when TMZ accosted him in February 2013. He remembered them from an appearance on Chappelle’s Show but declined to choose a favorite member, perhaps afraid that naming GZA would be impolitic, potentially costing him the crucial political support of Ghostface Killah. But Tantaros, ever the tenacious reporter, circled back, asking Rubio to settle the question once and for all. So which Wu-Tang affiliate is Rubio most partial to? Method Man? Raekwon? Or is he that guy who says “I actually think U-God is the most talented” just to be provocative? Rubio side-stepped the question yet again, because apparently they’re too old-school for his contemporary taste. “That’s, like, early ‘90s stuff,” Rubio said dismissively.
