Watch: Marco Rubio Says Donald Trump ‘Should Sue Whoever Did That To His Face’
Florida Senator Goes on Full Attack Against GOP Frontrunner
Marco Rubio Saturday afternoon continued his attacks on Donald Trump, meeting the school yard bully on his own turf. The Florida Senator who just a week ago was demolished for being a “robot,” after repeating his own scripted remarks over and over during a GOP debate came after the GOP frontrunner during Thursday’s debate, and hasn’t stopped since.
“You guys wanna have a little fun today?†Rubio asked a crowd of supporters in Kennesaw, Georgia. Looking at his cell phone, Rubio boasted that Trump was “pretty calm” after he “punched him around a little bit.”
“He’s learning how to spell, I guess,” Rubio continued, after many on social media and even Webster’s mocked Trump for making several spelling errors while posting to Twitter Friday. “But he’s flying around on Hair Force One and tweeting.”
“So here’s the one tweet he put out, he put out a picture of me having makeup put on me at the debate,†Rubio said.
“Which is amazing me to me, that the guy with the worst spray tan in America is attacking me for putting on makeup,†he continued, gleefully mocking his nemesis.
“Donald Trump likes to sue people,” Rubio announced, in what seemed to be a rehearsed line. “He should sue whoever did that to his face.”

Marco Rubio makes fun of Trump’s face — because that’s what being presidential apparently looks like these days. https://t.co/x6Bxq7cWh6

So I opine that Rubio is demeaning himself by disparaging remark about Trump’s face. Lots of likes from DT fans. Pot, meet kettle. #Irony
