Presidential Roommate

potus sealSOLVED!

UPDATED!

[Blind Gossip] This Presidential Candidate engaged in some shady behavior many years ago. He was arrested after some sort of activity went down in car, in a park, late at night. That area of the park was notorious drug deals and gay sex.

While the Candidate conveniently leaves this incident out of any biography about his early life, that information can be confirmed through public records.

However, we have some additional, EXCLUSIVE info that may provide some context – and a bit of a twist – to our story!

The Candidate later wound up living with the man with whom he was caught in the car.

That man was eventually charged by local authorities for running a business out of his home. The focus of the business? Gay p*rn!

BONUS CLUE: The staff person who leaked this to us is certainly going to get the boot.

[Optional] Do you think our Presidential Candidate is hiding something?

SOLVED!

It’s Marco Rubio!

When he was a teenager, Presidential Candidate Marco Rubio was arrested with his high school friend Angel Barrios in Alice C. Wainwright Park in Miami. The area of the park in which they were hanging out was notorious drug deals and gay sex. Rubio says that they were only guilty of drinking alcohol after hours, and chalked up the incident to youthful indiscretion. Fine.

However, the story gets weirder after that. Rubio and Barrios became roommates. Barrios started a gay porn business (which was later enjoined by the city of Miami for illegal distribution of porn).

A few days after we ran this blind item, the report about the roommate popped up in The Miami New Times:

Marco Rubio’s Childhood Friend Tied to Miami’s Most Infamous Gay Porn Case

… the story does add to a trend for Rubio, who has dealt with multiple news cycles about shady connections and sketchy choices back in his hometown, from a pile of traffic citations to mountains of questionable credit card debt to a brother-in-law convicted of dealing cocaine. Now Rubio can add to the mix a childhood buddy wrapped up in a years-long legal war over gay porn.

Again, Barrios wasn’t just Rubio’s childhood friend. He was Rubio’s roommate.

While we don’t believe Rubio was at all involved in the gay porn business, he was hanging out at gay clubs in Miami, performing shirtless at gay clubs, and was said to have attended gay foam parties around the time he was living with Barrios.

We don’t know if Marco Rubio is straight or gay or bisexual. Rubio is currently married with children and is even rumored to have had an extra-marital affair with another woman and to have hired a female dominatrix.

Miami is a gay-friendly town, and Rubio may have just engaged in a lot of gay-adjacent activity. However, all of the information about his arrest and the gay clubs and the gay porn roommate was not included in his official biography, and it certainly got tongues wagging.

Did you catch the bonus “boots” clue? Rubio was caught wearing boots with a stacked heel during the campaign. Perhaps he wore them to make himself look taller? You know that he hated that “Little Marco” label, right?

Congratulations to Synapse3 for being first with the correct response!

UPDATE!

None of this actually matters, because Marco Rubio just dropped out of the Presidential Race!

Yes, he was Trumped by Trump in his own state. Rubio failed to win Florida and placed at the back of pack in just about every other state in today’s primaries. That’s all she wrote.

It’s a good news/bad news scenario. Rubio dropping out clears the field a bit more, which is good. However, now that he is out of the race, we’ll never get to hear that story about  him and the dominatrix. Bummer!

Maybe in 2020?

    CLUE: The staff person who leaked this to us is certainly going to get the boot.
    Marco Rubio was ribbed in the NYT for wearing “shiny, stack-heeled ankle boots.”

  7. stolidog says

    Besides the arrest, the other clue pointing to Rubio is ” get the boot” since he was pretty widely ridiculed a couple of weeks ago for his high heeled boot.

  8. Jester says

    I got in on here late, after responses were posted, but the answer is Rubio, from a 37 year full-time resident of Florida (Yes! You are either full-time, or a ‘snowbird’).
    But why I posted is that I am amazed by the ‘Bernie’ guesses. Really???

    • LittleMissMuffin says

      They are just * off because Bernie is the most popular candidate who is the probably the one with the LEAST amount of secrets.

    • scumby says

      Get off your muffin lasdy. Bernie Sander is very tight lipped about his past. He lied about his bastard child. Bernie didin’t have a steady paycheck until he got into politics. He once was on unemployment but couldn’t ay what job he has to qualify for it. One of his extremist socialist policys is NO TIME LIMIT on unemployment benefits.

  10. wendybar says

    So the liberal Washington Post is trying to bash the Republicans once again. They should be looking into the 3 dead gay guys from Obamas church that HE was involved with before becoming President…but of course…his past (and present) stay covered up.

  11. Red Velvet says

    Rubio, but I’m surprised it’s this. The rumors around him in FL are about his $$ dealings. His brother-in-law is a convicted cocaine dealer, and $15 million of his drug profits have never been found. Meanwhile, Rubio was in a lot of debt and then suddenly wasn’t. Florida: the sunny state for shady characters.

  12. Best Guess says

    Marco Rubio in 1990 arrest in a park for “drinking beer”.
    Gay room mate is Angel Barrios.

  13. parkland45 says

    I don’t know but I can’t wait to find out! The only candidate I can think of has already dropped out of the race.

    • Amy123 says

      Never in history did ANYBODY hide things like Obama and nobody came even remotely close. Nobody even knows who he is.

  18. javajolted says

    Candidate: Rubio.
    Who cares, he was 19 or so. Who doesn’t experiment when they’re that age and drinking? So he might have gotten a bj at a park (frequented by BOTH male and female prostitutes, not just male btw.)

    I think the worst politician in this type of scandal was Barney Frank. His boyfriend was also an escort and running a call boy service out of the basement of their house.

    • Amy123 says

      I like Rubio he is my 2 after Trump. He was 18 I think I saw. Just a baby. I am surprised this was even brought up. Also there was that male prostitute who did a press conference about his physical encounter and drug run with our current lovely potus. I believe him and BO is one scary, SCARY dude whom I will never trust as far as I can throw him. So many heads in the sand, morons playing the race card, US, we are so screwed and a real fear is he will declare martial law and stay. Oh and he…

  19. Jinkies says

    Candidate: Marco Rubio, Arrested may 23, 1990, five days before his 19th birthday at Alice G. Wainwright Park in Miami, Florida.

    Is he hiding something? Well, the court file has been destroyed, so it looks a bit suspicious – the original police report states that he was with two under-aged males at the park at 9:37 p.m., after park hours. The claim is that they were drinking beer, but they could have been soliciting drugs there or other things.

  20. Amy123 says

    Um, sounds like the stories about Obama that everyone conveniently ignored, except Joan Rivers who died 2 months after she said it. Or should we talk about Killary? If this is hinting at Trump, which it seems to be, I am not buying it. And whoever it was, since they became roommates, they could have already been friends and were smoking a joint in a park, like some friends do. Trump is going to be put through every ringer and many lies will be told because his popularity is such a threat to the…

  22. slimfast10 says

    With a clue being many years ago, I am thinking this might be 70 something Bernie Sanders who’s biography has many holes in it. Bernie Bernie Bernie the staff person is probably working for Hillary.

  26. nonsequiturchica says

    Candidate: Marco Rubio!

    Wash Post had a story on Rubio getting arrested in a park a few days ago.

    Clue was boot- Rubio has been made fun of for the boots he has been sporting on the campaign trail.

  30. Maenad8 says

    Marco Rubio getting arrested in Alice Wainwright Park! ?

    I’m sure all candidates have something to hide… but I find this one in particular to be pretty amusing…

  33. DenverJayhawk says

    I immediately ruled out any GOP’s because if it were a matter of public record, this person would have already been outed and suffered a public, humiliating fall from grace.

    On the Dem side, I’m going with Martin O’Malley. His wiki page implies lots of marital indiscretions and charges of infidelity. Plus Baltimore is corrupt, corrupt, corrupt. I can see something of this magnitude being buried for a long, long time…

  36. AngryBlackWoman says

    Marco Rubio, who was arrested with his friend Angel Barrios in Alice C. Wainwright Park. He ended up living with that guy after high school and this same Angel Barrios had his business (Barrios Investment Group) enjoined by the City of Miami for gay porn.

  42. cecemartini says

    Marco Rubio!

    Yes! I’m sure just like Kordell Stewart he was in a park (know for drug activity and prostitution) at night to “hang out” LOL!

  43. Aquaboogy says

    Marco Rubio. His gay “roommate” was Angel Barrios, who got busted for running an illegal gay porn business.

  46. lahteb says

    Rubio

    Yes, I do. Even Ted Cruz admitted a very minor indiscretion involving booze. If it’s so nothing, why hasn’t this been explored before.

    Then again there’s been no mention of what Mrs Trump did in her modeling days. I imagine she did some “entertaining.”

  54. NYCBunny says

    Marco Rubio.

    If he has something to hide there’s no way it can be as bad as Killary’s baggage.

  55. BeauSo says

    Shady Marco Rubio. People in Florida know he is shady. This is one of the reasons why – as a sitting Florida senator – he is losing his home base by a landslide.

  57. Nataliexyz says

    Wish it was Ted Cruz, but internet indicates Marco Rubio is trying to stamp down a report of his arrest from 1990. It wasn’t in his memoir and he’s never discussed it. I wonder if he swings both ways because wasn’t he also recently accused of having an affair with a Washington lobbyist?

  58. BostonCollegeEagle says

    Marco Rubio. He was arrested at age 18 in Miami in 1990 in a public park so this fits the blind exactly.

  70. JayneDoe says

    Marco Rubio.

    Yes he’s hiding it…no matter what actually happened it’s embarrassing (as would be most of our dumb 18 year old exploits!).

    (First time posting/guessing….and really only because I actually KNOW someone….I have to look up most of the people in these blinds…I’m old! I had no idea who or what 1 Direction was….LOL)

    • Jester says

      Thanks for the chuckle in regards to the 1D comment. I’m old too. You ‘learn’ a lot here. Welcome!

    Presidential Candidate: Marco Rubio

    [Optional] Do you think our Presidential Candidate is hiding something? Sounds like there is more to the story then just being caught in the park after dark.

    • iheartkoko says

      I should note, I have experience getting caught in a park after dark. Last summer my bf & I were caught by the local police. Lucky for us we were caught while we were walking back to my car. The police were cool about it. They checked our IDs & ran my plates. We got a short lecture & let go.

      I feel Rubio was either in the park for sex, drugs or both.

  75. throwaway192834 says

    First time comment from a first-time poster!

    From what l am able to see with the clues, the answer is Marco Rubio. While I am unsure if l can give the exact search terms, but it involves “presidential candidate … park”

    Long time lurker and l enjoy what you all do! Keep up the good work.

  78. iamahere says

    Candidate: Rubio

    Friend: Philip Bleicher

    Optional: YES!!! Marco is doing everything he can to have a political career. He is as shady as the park that he was “detained” in

  80. WaitLemmeGuess says

    Marco Rubio was arrested in Miami at age 19 for being in a public park after closing. The Washington Post article I found states: ” He was arrested one night in May 1990 for being in a crime-plagued public park after closing time, according to police records and an interview with a friend who was cited with Rubio that night.”

  84. SeijnSei says

    Presidential Candidate: Marco Rubio (this happened in 1990)

    [Optional] Do you think our Presidential Candidate is hiding something? Yes.

  91. Vidalia Q Intrigue says

    This is Marco Rubio, who was arrested in 1990 for drinking beer in a Miami park after hours. On the optional question, I don’t think Rubio is hiding anything. I think the other GOP candidates are focusing on his heeled boots and his neatness just to dog whistle the homophobic voters in the base.

    • ladysussex says

      You are 100% right! Expect almost any leaks like this to come from her camp. What’s scary is that “someone” managed to squash all the leaks of information about Obama that her camp put out when she was running against him. It all just sort of disappeared when she “decided” to drop out of the race. Isn’t it ironic that she and her husband claim to be so liberal and pro-gay, yet she’s always leaking the covert homosexuality of her opponents.

    • pollywoggoo says

      No. Jeb is behind this.

      Jeb helped Marco get to where he is but Marco didn’t wait his turn to run.

  94. smleighton says

    Presidential Candidate: Mike Huckabee?

    I literally googled “park known for gay hookup” and something about Arizona came up, and he’s from somewhere in Arizona. Xoxo Nancy Drew

    • carladean says

      Huckabee is from Arkansas, not Arizona. A park that was popular for hookups is in my hometown, and the local paper has published names of those arrested. He has never been arrested for that.

  95. ImThinking says

    Presidential Candidate: Marco Rubio ( Arrested in park Alice C. Wainwright, Miami in 1990 )

    [Optional] Do you think our Presidential Candidate is hiding something? I think he is hiding A LOT!

  103. TracieKnits says

    Could that be Miss Lindsay Graham? It doesn’t say former candidate though.

    Of the current candidates, I would love it to be Rick Santorum. It seems the loudest homophobes tend to actually be deeply closeted homosexuals.
