\n\tFile this under things that don\u2019t surprise us in the least: Secretary of State Marco Rubio<\/a> has rather batshit taste in music. <\/p>\n \n\tEarlier this week, Rubio made an appearance<\/a> on The Katie Miller Podcast<\/em>, hosted by the wife of Stephen Miller, a.k.a. the Worst Living White House Aide in History<\/a>, in which he claimed not to like country music<\/a> and then stereotyped the genre with the panache of an eighth grader. \u201cMost of the songs are about, like, somebody whose wife and dog left them,\u201d Rubio said, adding that he finds the music \u201ctoo sad.\u201d To be fair, his wife, Jeanette, quickly jumped in to defend country music, suggesting he \u201clisten to Morgan Wallen,\u201d an artist who does not, at press time, have any songs about being left by both his wife and dog.<\/p>\n \n\tEven worse, Rubio then noted the one version of country music he does<\/em> like: terrible EDM mixes. Specifically, one that uses Johnny Cash<\/a>\u2019s \u201cRing of Fire.\u201d While he did not name exactly which remix he is partial to, this one, by Wuki,<\/a> could be a top contender for its popularity on TikTok (it\u2019s predictably nauseating enough to spark the fancy of someone like Rubio). The man his boss often called \u201cLittle Marco\u201d said he likes EDM because it \u201cfuses classical music, country music,\u201d and went on to mention that he is not allowed to play his music in the car because it gives his wife a headache. You can watch the exchange on the, uh, U.S. Department of State Facebook page<\/a>.<\/p>\n \n\tMiller then asked Rubio, who apparently likes to quote rap songs<\/a>, to name his favorite rapper. Rubio claimed Tupac Shakur \u2014 but with the mind-boggling caveat that \u201cobviously he never lived long enough to see what he would have turned in to.\u201d Tupac is regarded as one of the most iconic and influential rappers<\/a> of all time. (Not to be that guy, but name one Tupac deep cut, Rubio.)<\/p>\n
