HARWOOD: “The Tax Foundation, which was alluded to earlier, scored your tax plan and concluded that you give nearly twice as much of a gain in after-tax income to the top one percent as to people in the middle of the income scale.

He said, ‘Look, that is not right.’ And he was going to let it slide and go on. Harwood interrupted and said no. Tax foundation says it my way. And then Rubio says no.

KELLY: “It was uncomfortable to watch and I understand moderating is tough. And listen, boos, they may come with the territory, we expect to be booed on some of our questions, but that was something to behold. Guys, thank you.”
