In a piece for Politico, Yale professor Joel Baden criticized Rubio’s apparent affinity for the book of Proverbs.“Proverbs is notable in that is presents a fairly consistent view of the world: The righteous are rewarded, and the wicked are punished,” writes Baden. “In the understanding of Proverbs, everyone gets what is coming to them; behavior is directly linked to reward or punishment. This worldview has social consequences: Those who succeed in life must be more righteous than those who struggle.”
The real criticism came when Baden asserted, “In short: Proverbs is probably the most Republican book of the entire Bible.”

  Rubio had a sarcastic response for Baden:

Proverbs is the Republican part of the bible?I don't think Solomon had yet joined the GOP when he wrote the first 29 chapters of Proverbs
