Donald is a ‘born’ liar in rip at Rubio
DONALD TRUMP unleashed a wild truther attack on Marco Rubio on Sunday, questioning his eligibility for the presidency by trying to create uncertainty about the Florida senator’s place of birth.
The two-faced tycoon retweeted a fantastic accusation claiming “It’s a SLAM DUNK CASE” that Ted Cruz and Rubio are both ineligible to run for President.
The orange-hued developer appeared to double down on the birther conspiracy Sunday.
“I don’t know. I really — I’ve never looked at it, George. I honestly have never looked at it,” Trump (photo) told George Stephanopoulos during an interview on ABC’s “This Week” on Sunday morning. “As somebody said, he’s not. And I retweeted it. I have 14 million people between Twitter and Facebook and Instagram, and I retweet things and we start dialogue and it’s very interesting.”
Rubio, who was born in Miami to immigrant parents, fired back.
“He says something that’s edgy and outrageous and then the media flocks and covers that and then no one else can get any coverage on anything else,” Rubio said during a separate interview on “This Week.”
“And that worked when there were 15 people running for President. It’s not going to work anymore. I’m going to spend zero time on his interpretation of the Constitution with regards to eligibility.”
Trump has long questioned Cruz’s eligibility, arguing that he can’t run because he was born in Canada. That claim has ignored the fact that Cruz’s mother is a U.S. citizen, which automatically granted her son citizenship.
Previously, Trump acknowledged that Rubio was eligible to run for the country’s top office.
“He was born here,” Trump said in January. “He was born on the land. Ted was not born on the land, and there’s a very strict reading that you have to be born on the land.”
