A video surfaced Tuesday showing Marco Rubio supporters roughing up a #RobotRubio protester dressed as a robot outside a polling station in Manchester, N.H. The pundits and politicians love to say that politics is a contact sport. At least come days, that can actually be true.
As the protester approached a crowd of Rubio supporters outside the polling place at the Webster School a few hours before polls closed, a man appears to use a giant Rubio sign to block his path. Another Rubio supporter pulled the protester away.
“Why do you have your hands on me?” #RobotRubio said. “Look at all these cameras.”
Of course, the #RobotRubio hashtag is a reference to the Florida senator’s repeated response during Saturday night’s Republican debate. Rubio repeated the same line about Barack Obama purposefully destroying the country no less than four times, drawing criticism from New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and from protesters dressed as robots in the days after.
After another man appears to tell the Rubio supporters to leave the protester alone, the protester is joined by another man dressed as a robot, whose costume reads “Rubio Talking Point 3000.” That man said on Twitter that he was later pushed to the ground.
