Christie, in Arkansas, Rips Rubio for ‘Not Showing up for Work’

‘One message to senator Rubio, wherever you are right now, unlike the united States Senate, president of the United States is not a no-show job’

CHRIS CHRISTIE: "Now, I'm not just making this stuff up. Let me tell you exactly what Marco Rubio has done since he's been a United States senator.

How about this, Marco Rubio says he's going to create jobs, and he's on the small business committee in the Senate, and he's missed 85% of the meetings as senator. He's on the commerce committee to create economic activity. He's missed 80% of the meetings of the commerce committee.
