2022 FL Senate race: on Government Reform

Val Demings: Members of extremist groups shouldn't be in police, military

I remember at the police department we had a policy that said you could not be a member of nor associate with extremist groups. If you were found out it was grounds for immediate termination. I think it is very important for those who protect us, whether that's the military, whether that's law enforcement, whether that's elected officials, I think that there should be major steps taken to hold them accountable and get them removed from the powerful, influential position that they may hold.

Marco Rubio: Vice President doesn't have power to overturn election

RUBIO: If President Trump runs for reelection, I believe he would defeat Joe Biden, and I don't want Kamala Harris to have the power as vice president to overturn that election. That's the same thing that I concluded back in January of 2021.

Q: So Donald Trump was wrong?

RUBIO: If a vice president has that power, Donald Trump would defeat Joe Biden in two years, and then Kamala Harris can decide to overturn the election. I don't want to wind up there.

Q: What about the Congressional January 6th investigation?

RUBIO: I think that commission is a scam. I think it's a complete partisan scam. And I think anyone who committed a crime on January 6 should be prosecuted and, if convicted, put in jail. I do not believe that we need a congressional committee to harass Americans that weren't even in Washington on January 6, that were not in favor of what happened on that day, have condemned what happened on that day, but they want to smear them anyway.
