But a review of documents — including naturalization papers and other official records — reveals that the Florida Republican’s account embellishes the facts.

I don’t think that this will matter to Rubio’s core constituency: they are more pre-occupied with sloganeering and living in myths that make them comfortable than they are processing cognitive dissonance created by minutia like fact.
