It’s Judgment Day for Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) and his Twitter account.
Rubio, an outspoken follower of the Christian faith, has recently been kicking off his mornings by tweeting Bible verses. In his latest installment Thursday, the Republican senator warned “wise” people about the perils of debating fools.

there is railing and ridicule but no resolution. Proverbs 29:9
Apparently, the power of irony compelled many Twitter users to respond.
Critics of President Donald Trump named him as the “fool” referenced in the proverb, while others took the opportunity to bash Rubio for ignoring his constituents’ concerns over the proposed GOP health care legislation.
Based on all the responses Thursday, Rubio may have learned a new commandment: Thou shalt be careful what you tweet.
Been chatting with @POTUS lately I see.

Exactly our current situation. Most of America disputes with Trump and GOP senators. No resolution.

Pretty accurate statement considering fools far outnumber the wise in DC these days.

If a fool tries to take away healthcare from millions of people, how could a wise person not rail and ridicule? ME: 29:7

What if the fool is the @POTUS and his policies are inherently unchristian?

Are the @AmerMedicalAssn and @AARP fools, Marco? Or are you the fool for not listening to them?

Can we draw the obvious conclusion here?

What do call it when a fool takes money from the Kochs to deprive Floridians of Medicaid?

If a fool tweets about resolutions but continues following a leader that publicly mocked him thats called job security
