Alex Conant, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio’s communication director, said the report of an internal strive before the Florida Republican primary is “100% false.”
He angrily confronted CNN’s Wolf Blitzer on “The Situation Room.” He told Blitzer “that is fiction” and demanded to know how the report was published without contacting the campaign. Conant also urged CNN to “stop reading that sort of fiction on air.”
