Hillary Clinton’s decision to join the party in ribbing Marco Rubio for his performance in the last Republican debate may have backfired.
Rubio has been grilled for repeating himself over and over at the GOP debate, where Chris Christie called him out for relying on the same speech. “And let’s dispel once and for all with this fiction that Barack Obama doesn’t know what he’s doing. He knows exactly what he’s doing,” Rubio said, more than once. A Twitter account was even launched called RubioGlitch as a result.
Democrat candidate Clinton joined in with a shot of her own in a post on Thursday.
Let’s dispel with this fiction that @POTUS doesn’t know what he’s doing. He knows exactly what he’s doing. https://t.co/DQ4HHj9kXZ

The Florida senator responded by questioning Clinton’s qualifications.

But a short while later, he took aim and fired.

Some were not convinced and continued the Rubio glitch theme while some called on both candidates to quit the rhetoric and “do something.”
@marcorubio @HillaryClinton Haha, Hillary burned you.
Stick a fork in Marcobot. He’s done.

For the most part, however, Twitter users enjoyed Rubio’s response.
