Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) called it “outrageous” that people are questioning the story of his family history, after the Washington Post published a story suggesting that his parents came to the United States before Fidel Castro took power, contrary to what Rubio has claimed in the past.“To suggest my family’s story is embellished for political gain is outrageous,” Rubio said in a statement. “The dates I have given regarding my family’s history have always been based on my parents’ recollections of events that occurred over 55 years ago and which were relayed to me by them more than two decades after they happened. I was not made aware of the exact dates until very recently.”
