Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) on Wednesday issued a statement criticizing presidential rivals Donald Trump and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) for turning their participation—or lack thereof—in the upcoming GOP debate into a “sideshow.”
Trump said late Tuesday that he would not take part in the Fox News debate scheduled for Thursday. Cruz then challenged Trump to a “mano-a-mano” confrontation.
Rubio said the debates were important and that his rivals’ “theatrics” were nothing more than a distracting, “entertaining sideshow.”
Here’s the full statement from Rubio’s communications director:

This has all the sober dignity of a bunch of tweens in a pillow fight at a slumber party.
I bet he was wearing his extra tall big boy boots when he squeaked out the dictation for these manly words.
Did this article explain how Cruz was involved?
I don’t have TPM’s man crush on Cruz, so I don’t necessarily keep up with every one of his bowel movements.
So sad, no one wants to dance with Kinky Boots.
