At a campaign rally in South Carolina on Tuesday, a man in the audience shouted “waterboard Hillary” during Sen. Marco Rubio’s (R-FL) speech, according to numerous reports.
The crowd at the rally laughed following the remark, as did Rubio, according to Politico.
“I don’t want to know what he said,” Rubio then said in response, according to the Washington Post. “The press is here, I didn’t even hear what they — I didn’t hear what they said. I know it wasn’t a bad word, that’s all that matters.”
Time Magazine described the audience member’s comment as an “easily audible outburst.”
The rally attendee’s comment followed a remark by Rubio about the Guantanamo Bay prison.
“This is a message to the Cuban government and anyone who’s listening: We’re keeping Guantanamo — forever,” Rubio said, according to the Washington Post. “We’re keeping it forever. It’s a good base.”
