ORLANDO, Fla. — Florida Sen. Marco Rubio met with business owners Tuesday, who were impacted by the Pulse attack.
"It's been a tough time for them, and we want to find assistance for them besides just loans from the bank, because that's debt," said Rubio.
Rubio also said he wants to make sure some of the $17 million crowd-sourced in the aftermath of the Pulse attack is set aside for businesses that lost money.
"Obviously, the priority would be getting funds to victims and people who have been hurt. That would certainly be the priority of the fund," he said.
