5:27Now PlayingMarco Rubio knows a thing or two about being pushed around. He was pushed around by Chris Christie during the Republican debates, he was pushed around by Trump during the primaries, and now he believes that he is being pushed around by the 4 rising stars of the Democratic Party. The truth is that Marco loves playing the victim, but unfortunately for him it has never worked out in his favor. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this.

Marco Rubio doesn't like bullies. I, let's be honest, nobody likes bullies, but unfortunately for Marco Rubio, he actually sees bullies in places where they do not exist. For example, yesterday Marco Rubio decided to release a video on Twitter talking about just how awful the dang Democrats are and how mean they have become over the last 30 or 40 years. But all that meanness has somehow reached a peak with representatives Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Those are the four people that Marco Rubio in this clip here says, have become political bullies. Take a look.
"...And on top of it, you have these four members who are Americans. No one should question that they are fully as American as me or anybody else, but there are also political bullies that go around attacking people, calling other Democrats just like southern segregationists. But when you hit them back, it's because they're women of color."
So Rubio, actually, even before that part of the clip, he had started talking about the fact that, oh, they called Ronald Reagan a racist. They called George W. Bush or racist. They called John McCain a racist. Now they're calling Trump a racist and they're political bullies because that's what they do. According to Rubio. And again, Rubio does know a thing or two about bullies because this is a guy who got pushed around throughout the entire 2015, 2016 Republican primary, uh, which really manifested itself so perfectly when Chris Christie absolutely destroyed this man on the Republican debate stage. Let's take a look at that for anyone who forgot that this happened.
"...And when I'm elected president, this will become once again the single greatest nation in the history of the world, not the disaster Barack Obama has imposed upon us.
"You see everybody, I want the people at home to think about this. That's what Washington DC does. The drive-by shot at the beginning with incorrect and incomplete information and then the memorized 25 second speech that is exactly what his advisors gave him. See Marco, the thing is this, when you're president the United States, when you're a governor of a state, the memorized 30 second speech where you talk about how great America is at the end of it, doesn't solve one problem for one person. They expect you to plow the snow. They expect you to get the schools open, and when the worst natural disaster in your state's history hits you, they expect you to rebuild their state, which is what I've done. None of that stuff happens on the floor of the United States Senate. It's a fine job. I'm glad you ran for it, but it does not prepare you for president of the United States."
"Chris, your state got hit by a massive snow storm two weeks ago. You didn't even want to go back. They had to shame you into going back, and then you stayed there for 36 hours and then you left and came back to campaign. Those are the facts. Here's the bottom line. This notion that Barack Obama doesn't know what he's doing is just not true."
"There it is."
"He knows exactly what he's doing."
"The memorized 25 second speech. There it is, everybody."
