"Sign of our times... the F word is now routinely used in news stories, tweets etc It’s not even F*** anymore. Who made that decision???" the U.S. senator tweeted this morning, apparently in reaction to CNN's decision not to censor Anderson Cooper's pre-taped interview with a Capital Gazette newspaper shooting survivor. Rubio's comment was immediately met with ridicule on Twitter, including by U.S. Rep. Ted Lieu, who tweeted: "Dear Senator Marco Rubio: I agree with you that using the F word without asterisks should not be routine. But perhaps you should be concerned about the F*cking evil situation of thousands of children ripped away from their parents by our government. Who made that decision???"
