Whenever anyone does as this ad does, plays the actual words of Donald Trump on national television, his response is to yell, Liar. Their strategy is simply to yell, Liar, liar, liar.

One of the problems with Marco's [Rubio] foreign policy is he has far too often supported Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama undermining governments in the Middle East that have helped radical Islamic terrorists.

What I put forward was an amendment that would have temporarily halted immigration from high-risk terrorist countries, but would have started it up, but I wanted them to go through Global Entry, which is a program where we do background checks.
