Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump was booed when he called fellow presidential candidate Sen. Marco Rubio (FL) a “clown” during his speech at the 2015 Values Voter Summit on Friday.
Trump said, “This clown, Marco Rubio” and was met with boos.
Rubio was the first presidential candidate to speak to the conference and speech was well received, particularly when he broke the news that House Speaker John Boehner was resigning.
Watch and listen to the boos below:

Next tweet: “How dare they boo? Those losers. Everyone knows GOP voters have become a third-rate voting bloc.”
Maybe his “Trump The Insult Candidate” shtick is wearing a bit thin with the base.
I’d be too bad. I really wanted him tearing up the party for a while longer…
To be fair he did get some applause during his speech and a standing ovation at the end of it.
