At New Hampshire campaign event, Marco Rubio repeats himself — again
This one's for you, Chris Christie: On the eve of the New Hampshire primary, Marco Rubio gave the New Jersey governor plenty of fodder for his next campaign ad by repeating himself during a speech.
Rubio came under fire Saturday night at the ABC News Republican Presidential Debate, after he brought up the same talking point about President Obama multiple times. Christie called him out, saying, "See, there it is, the memorized 25-second speech," with Rubio responding by repeating himself again.
On Monday night in Nashua, Rubio launched into a speech about how "families are struggling to raise their children in the 21st century." Rubio lamented how difficult it was for him and his wife to "instill our values in our kids instead of the values they try to ram down our throats." Not two seconds later, he started in again, saying: "In the 21st century, it's become harder than ever to instill in your children the values they teach in our homes and in our church, instead of the values they try to ram down our throats in the movies, in music, in popular culture." Rubio paused after the second time he said "ram down our," likely due to a severe case of déjà vu. Watch the video below. Watch the video below. Catherine Garcia
