Republican presidential candidate Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) said Sunday that “it doesn’t matter” what about his record on immigration was factually inaccurate in rival Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX)’s attack ad against him.
NBC “Meet the Press” host Chuck Todd played a snippet of the ad which compared audio of Rubio talking about his immigration policy to President Barack Obama’s plan and noted the similarities.
Todd asked Rubio which part of the ad was untrue.
“It doesn’t matter,” Rubio stated. “First of all, people didn’t care about it. This is an attack that has now been going on in state after state, and people are processing and they understand that this is a serious issue that needs to be solved.”
“Number two,” Rubio continued. “I can put the exact same ad on about Ted Cruz.”
bobbing and weaving. Sen Rubio, I knew Cassius Clay. Cassius Clay was a friend of mine. You’re no Cassius Clay.
Translation: It doesn’t matter about reality. This is the GOP primary.
Alt. translation: " I’m not here to comment on true things others say, Toad"
So even the media recognizes it’s going to be Rubio v. Cruz to get to Trump. And they’re giving them ample opportunity to attack the other.
As much as I despise Cruz and can hardly bear to read anything about him, I hope he gets the better of Rubio.
The irony of two first generation sons of immigrants fighting over who is more anti-immigrant – as though that is a good thing – is quite beyond belief.
