Less than an hour after trashing the Florida newspaper The Sun-Sentinel and CNBC Republican presidential debate co-moderator Carl Quintanilla for bolstering the well-known fact that the liberal media is biased against conservatives, Senator Marco Rubio (Fl.) returned for more on Wednesday night as he shellacked them as “the ultimate super PAC” for Democrats and Hillary Clinton.
Following opponent Donald Trump taking a shot at Rubio, the Florida Senator chose not to fire back at Trump but instead take aim at the media because “the Democrats have the ultimate Super PAC....called the mainstream media for every single day.”
Rubio bolstered his case by roughing summarizing their continued infatuation with Clinton and her Democratic presidential campaign despite the admission in the Benghazi hearing last week that she knew early on that the deadly 2012 attack was terrorism (and not because of a video):
Last week, Hillary Clinton went before a committee. She admitted she had sent e-mails to her family saying hey, this attack in Benghazi was caused by al-Qaeda-like elements. She spent over a week telling the families of those victims and the American people that it was because of a video and yet, the mainstream media is going around saying it was the greatest week in Hillary Clinton's campaign.
Even though it should have been “the week she got exposed as a liar,” Rubio declared that, instead, “she has her super PAC helping her out — the American mainstream media.”

REPUBLICAN SENATOR MARCO RUBIO (Fl.): You know, the Democrats have the ultimate Super PAC. It’s called the mainstream media for every single day — and I’ll tell you why. Last week, Hillary Clinton went before a committee. She admitted she had sent e-mails to her family saying hey, this attack in Benghazi was caused by al-Qaeda-like elements. She spent over a week telling the families of those victims and the American people that it was because of a video and yet, the mainstream media is going around saying it was the greatest week in Hillary Clinton's campaign. It was the week she got exposed as a liar. It was the week she got exposed as a liar — but she has her super PAC helping her out — the American mainstream media.
