Rubio Exaggerated Family Story

Posted on Thursday Oct 20th at 5:15pm

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) frequently repeats "a compelling version of his family's history that had special resonance in South Florida. He was the son of exiles, he told audiences, Cuban Americans forced off their beloved island after 'a thug,' Fidel Castro, took power," the Washington Post reports.

"But a review of documents -- including naturalization papers and other official records -- reveals that Rubio's dramatic account of his family saga embellishes the facts. The documents show that Rubio's parents came to the United States and were admitted for permanent residence more than 2½ years before Castro's forces overthrew the Cuban government and took power on New Year's Day 1959."
