Marco Rubio Squirms Over Vicious Trump Video Clips In Tense Interview

ABC News’ Jonathan Karl took Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) on a “quick trip down memory lane” with questions about Donald Trump on Sunday as the former president reportedly eyes him as a possible running mate.

Karl, on the latest edition of “This Week,” asked the Florida Republican about calling Trump a “con artist” in 2016.

“It was a campaign,” said Rubio, referring to his failed GOP presidential bid.
“You know I could have gone on. I could have played more,” Karl interjected.

“Yeah, but so why didn’t you play the clip of Kamala Harris basically insinuating that Joe Biden was a segregationist on the debate stage? And she’s now his vice president,” replied Rubio in a nod to Harris criticizing Biden’s “hurtful” past work with segregationist senators in 2019.

“We’ve played that, but let me ask you,” Karl replied.
“Well, you didn’t play it now,” Rubio said.
“That was then,” Karl said.
