Rubio Hits Trump: He Won’t Stop Terrorism with a ‘Series of Speeches and Harsh Words’

DOOCY: “Well, when you’re talking about national security, one of the exit poll questions was about are you worried about a terror attack? When you look at the breakdown about who scored well on the Republican side, Donald Trump wound up with 35 percent of the people who were responded to the our exit pollers. Meanwhile, Kasich had 15, Cruz had 12 and Marco Rubio had just 11 percent. Why do you think Donald Trump wound up with a number three times yours?”
RUBIO: “Well, look, the number you just read me sounds just like the number he got on the ballot. So clearly when people support someone, they think they’re good at everything. And that’s why they support them. So, I won’t too focused on that. I can tell you, I know exactly how to stop terrorism and it isn’t with a series of speeches with harsh words. You are not going to scare ISIS and to closing shop simply by saying that you’re going to destroy them. How are you going to do it? Don’t the voters of South Carolina deserve to know how the next president of the United States is going to specifically confront a threat like ISIS? Well, that’s what we’re about to find out over the next ten days. It’s not enough to — you know, elect someone that talks mean, you got to know what the plan is. And we have a plan, we’ve been talking about it for a long time, it’s a plan that works and it’s one that I think the people of South Carolina are going to rally behind.”
DOOCY: “Absolutely. All right. Marco Rubio, you are a fighter. We know you’re heading down to the Palmetto state very shortly. Good luck to you, sir. And thanks for joining us today from ‘Fox & Friends’ here in New Hampshire. Thank you.”
RUBIO: “Thank you. Thank you very much.”
