Marco Rubio wants to replace a Confederate statue with Tim Tebow

Marco Rubio wants to put a statue of Tim Tebow in the U.S. Capitol’s Statuary Hall. 

The statue would replace one depicting Florida of Confederate Gen. Edmund Kirby Smith, which will soon be removed after being in the hall for almost a century. 

“Here’s suggestion for #Florida which [is] looking 4 help replacing state statue in U.S. Capitol,” the Florida Republican senator wrote on Twitter Wednesday night.

Tebow played for the Florida Gators from 2006 to 2009 as a quarterback and won the Heisman Trophy in 2007. After college, he was drafted in the first round by the Denver Broncos, and his famous “Tebowing” pose became a viral sensation. 

The Florida Department of State has been soliciting recommendations for the statue replacement via an online survey and by mail, according to the Palm Beach Post. The online survey will be up until June 10. 

Florida Gov. Rick Scott signed a bill to remove the confederate statue earlier this year. The final decision will be made in 2017 by the Florida legislature.
