Obama Roasts Rubio: You Call Trump A 'Con Artist' But You'll Vote For Him?

Source: Talking Points Memo

President Barack Obama read Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), and, by proxy, the entire Republican Party, the riot act on Thursday for supporting Donald Trump despite previously condemning him.

Speaking at a Thursday afternoon rally on behalf of Hillary Clinton in Miami Gardens, Florida, Obama didn't hold back, shredding Rubio for supporting Trump despite previously calling him a "con artist" and an "erratic individual."

"I agree with the U.S. senator, a Republican, who a while back said that we can't afford to give the nuclear codes of the United States to an erratic individual," Obama said to cheers from the crowd. "By the way, you know who said that? Marco Rubio!"

Obama cited Rubio's comments from February, when he called Trump a "con artist."
