Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback Endorses Marco Rubio for President

The Blaze:

Republican presidential hopeful Florida Sen. Marco Rubio received the endorsement of Kansas GOP Gov. Sam Brownback on Monday.

 

Brownback, a vocal opponent of abortion and taxpayer funding for Planned Parenthood, cited Rubio’s “track record” on “protecting life” as a reason for his endorsement.

 

“Marco Rubio is a true conservative who can unite the party and defeat Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders in the fall,” Brownback said in a statement. “In the past, conservatives have been forced to make a choice between their head and their hearts. This year, we are fortunate to not have to make that choice. Marco Rubio has a proven track record of protecting life, defending religious liberty, and undoing Obamacare. He will be a wonderful President, and I am proud to offer him my full support.”

 

In his 2016 State of the State address, Brownback directed Kansas to bar taxpayer funds from going to Planned Parenthood “through our Medicaid program,” and encouraged the legislature to send him a bill “that would enshrine this directive in state law.”
