Rubio on Why He Won’t Attack Trump: ‘I’m Not in this Race to Attack Anyone’

‘If I’m attacked I’m going to respond and set the record state’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
GEIST: "Senator Rubio, I'm channeling a lot of Republicans and conservatives who like you and support you but have grown increasingly frustrated that you're not specifically going after Donald Trump and you seem more focused on Ted Cruz. Their concern seems to be that by the time you get rid of Ted Cruz -- if that is, in fact, the strategy -- it will be too late. Donald Trump will have too many states and too many delegates. Why not go at Donald Trump right now?"
RUBIO: "First of all, I haven't heard that and I go to rallies all the time. I don't have voters begging me to attack anyone. Secondly, I think a lot of people in the media want to see Republicans attacking each other because it makes for good television. I'm more than happy to show differences --"
GEIST: "Forgive the interruption, you're going after Ted Cruz."
RUBIO: "I'm responding to Ted Cruz. If I'm attacked I'm going to respond and set the record state. Ted Cruz has era R petedly made things up about me and we need to clear the air and point to the fact he's making things up. In the last debate, Donald Trump said George W. Bush is responsible for 9/11. I corrected him in a very firm way in front of the entire nation so when instances like that arise I won't hesitate to our differences or the thing that I disagree with."
