Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) took to twitter Friday night to defend his decision to help GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump.
The twitter rant was a bit Trump-esque in its off-the-cuff nature, but Rubio responded to a series of both fans and critics who were curious about why he would help Trump now after months of running against him
More typical inaccurate context.I said I would be “honored” to help party beat Hillary.Stop your snarkathon https://t.co/iCW3p5QFRK

Some wanted to know why Rubio even discussed the issue on the first place with CNN after having addressed the question so many times. Rubio joked that he didn’t answer the question the same time every time because he didn’t want to sound “robotic,” an allusion to an attack Rubio faced when he was running for the White House.
Wish it worked that way.They ask EVERY time until they get answer little different from the others 1/2 https://t.co/X2hu2xqTVG

But if you give same answer too many times then they say you are “robotic” and “scipted”. Sound familiar? Lol https://t.co/X2hu2xqTVG

Rubio tweeted more than two dozen times and as one reader pointed out, he had some problems with the punctuation. In his defense, it was indeed his first day as a “keyboard cowboy.”

Some tweeted to Rubio that they were both #NeverTrump and #NeverHillary, Rubio tweeted back that he understood that decision. Rubio went on for quite awhile, long enough that one tweeter complained about “that feeling when you got @marcorubio notifications turned on and he’s blowing up your phone… ” Rubio responded “My bad. Sorry. Just having fun.”
All fun has to come to an end though.
