"Darko Marco"? What the hell, Miami Herald? https://t.co/Jy7HHL4RlV pic.twitter.com/I1B3nODwx1

What’s up with that headline?
What the heck is that, a reference to the movie? @JonahNRO @jpodhoretz @instapundit https://t.co/cKQL7Kgss4

The story makes references to Rubio’s “dire warnings about ISIS, the national debt and what he characterizes as the impending death of the American Dream.”
Eh, they're talking about dark as in gloom and doom. Not a racial thing. https://t.co/KkqzidNDHm

Even so, just imagine if that was said about a Democrat:
That's racist. https://t.co/TqyeiZ9YMF

@jimgeraghty @JonahNRO If a conservative said this it would be the racist statement of the year.
