Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) is on his way to steal yo girl.

Or at least that’s what one man accused him of at a Sunday campaign event in Florida.

In video of the incident posted online, a man stood up during Rubio’s stump speech to say “Marco Rubio is trying to steal my girlfriend.”

“They met in New Hampshire, and she doesn’t look at me the same way anymore,” he said. “I’m serious!”

Rubio responded: “That’s alright. Hey, we don’t beat up our hecklers at our events, so.”

The crowd chanted “Marco” as the man was being escorted out of the venue.

“I didn’t even win New Hampshire,” Rubio joked.

The run-in led some on Twitter to speculate the man was an actor hired to disrupt the event.

Rubio’s events have been targeted by stunt protests in the past. After a poor debate showing in early February where the Republican repeated himself several times, an activist dressed as a robot tussled with Rubio’s New Hampshire campaign chair at an event in the state.

    I guess she has a soft spot for losers.

  2. I think Trump will get your girl, buddy.

  3. Idiot. You just privately go to Rubio and propose a swap. I mean, c’mon, you’d have to be getting the better of him on that con.
