Marco Rubio Apologizes for Poor Performance in GOP Debate (Video)
Marco Rubio apologized for his poor showing in the New Hampshire primary and blamed his performance in last weekend’s GOP presidential debate.
During a speech to supporters on Tuesday night, Rubio took the responsibility for what many have described as a robotic performance on the debate stage.
“I’m disappointed with tonight,” the Florida senator said. “I want you to understand, our disappointment tonight is not on you. It’s on me. I did not do well on Saturday night, so listen to this. That will never happen again.”
