What's with Rubio's stand against Michele Bachmann?

Who can believe this attack on Michele Bachmann by prominent members of her own party?  What can we do to support her?  So far it looks to me as if she is right on target.

Nope- Rubio Doesn’t Get It Either

Question- would Rubio be taking a similar position if Abedin was Cuban and had family members with close ties to the Communist regime of Fidel Castro?

Rubio Sides Against Bachmann, Rooney Regarding Huma Abedin’s Possible Ties to Terrorism

Congresswoman Michele Bachmann’s recent letter to the Department of State expressing her concerns about the possible infiltration of radical Islam throughout the federal government has received pushback from moderate Republican senators John McCain and Scott Brown.
McCain called Bachmann’s letter “scurrilous” and full of “sinister accusations,” and categorized the questioned raised about Hillary Clinton’s Deputy Chief of Staff Huma Abedin as “nothing less than an unwarranted and unfounded attack on an honorable citizen, a dedicated American and a loyal public servant.”  You can read Bachmann’s letter here.  Predictably, the Palm Beach Post is raising the specter of “McCarthyite tactics” being used by Rooney for simply signing the document. 
Perhaps somewhat more surprisingly, Senator Marco Rubio has waded into this controversy and has sided with his Senate colleagues against Bachmann and Florida Congressman Tom Rooney, who has also signed Bachmann’s letter.  Senator Rubio responded to the Shark Tank’s request for further comment by stating, “I stand by my statements.”
