And this is exactly why the Republicans deserve Trump. Even the so-called moderates of the party are completely out of touch.

Washington (CNN)Florida Sen. Marco Rubio says he opposes abortions for women infected with Zika, as the health crisis sweeps his home state.

"I understand a lot of people disagree with my view -- but I believe that all human life is worthy of protection of our laws. And when you present it in the context of Zika or any prenatal condition, it's a difficult question and a hard one," Rubio told POLITICO Saturday. "But if I'm going to err, I'm going to err on the side of life."

Donald Trump is under fire from LGBT advocates for his and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio’s decision to attend what they consider an anti-LGBT event just miles from Pulse nightclub in Orlando, where a gunman claimed the lives of 49 people at the reputedly gay venue in June.

Adding insult to injury, the gathering is set to take place on the two-month anniversary of the shooting.

What concerns LGBT groups is the event’s roster of speakers, which includes David Barton, a Republican Party activist who has said that God is justly preventing a cure for HIV/AIDS because it is a divine “penalty” for homosexuality; co-founder of Liberty Counsel Mat Staver, who’s organization defended Kim Davis, the Kentucky county clerk who gained notoriety last year after refusing to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples; Ken Graves, a Maine pastor who believes gay people “seek to take over our land and make it Sodom;” and Bill Federer, a religious conspiracy theorist, who said gay rights are bringing about the “Islamist takeover of America.”
