Fox host asks Rubio: How many jobs have you created?
Fox News host Chris Wallace made for a dramatic moment in Thursday night’s Republican debate when he asked Marco Rubio how many jobs he has created.
{mosads}”Sen. Rubio, you have taken to calling Mr. Trump a con artist who portrays himself as a hero to working people while he’s really been … sticking it to American workers for 40 years,” Wallace said, addressing the junior senator from Florida.
“But he has built a big company that employs thousands of people. Question: How many jobs have you created?” Wallace asked.
Rubio avoided the question about his own job creation record, launching instead into an attack line he has been using for two weeks against the Republican front-runner.
“He has spent a career convincing Americans that he’s something that he’s not in exchange for their money,” Rubio said. “Now he’s trying to do the same in exchange for their country. This is a fact.
“He talks about the great businesses that he’s built. He inherited over $100 million.”
Trump cut in, “Wrong, wrong, wrong.”
But Rubio pushed on, challenging Trump to stop making his clothing lines overseas.
“He can start tonight by announcing that all the Donald J. Trump clothing will no longer be made in China and Mexico but will be made here in the United States,” Rubio said to cheers.
