An emboldened former President Barack Obama has taken it to President Trump recently in speeches. Republican Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) has returned fire by calling out the former president for his divisiveness, which happens to be the exact thing Obama accuses Trump of.
Obama claims that Trump is only capitalizing on resentments that politicians have been fanning for years.

Well, Marco Rubio took to Twitter and responded in a big way to Barack Obama running his mouth. First he called out how Obama was wrong for using divisive languarge.
Pres. Obama is right. It is wrong for a President to use divisive language, such as:
1. Call all opponents of same-sex marriage bigots
2. Call the Pro-Life movement a "War on Women"
3. Call all immigration enforcement advocates racists
4. Call the GOP the enemy of Hispanics— Marco Rubio (@marcorubio) September 8, 2018
After that he mentioned when Obama made a joke about former First Lady Nancy Reagan.Rubio wasn't done:
Barack Obama on people left behind by new economy: “And it’s not surprising then they get bitter,they cling to guns or religion or antipathy toward people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.”

Barack Obama justifying ignoring constitution limits on the power of President: “Middle-class families can’t wait for Republicans in Congress to do stuff. So sue me.”

Barack Obama in a Univision interview calling on Hispanics to vote against GOP “enemies”: “If Latinos sit out the election instead of saying, ‘We’re gonna punish our enemies and we’re gonna reward our friends who stand with us on issues that are important to us...”

Barack Obama at a speech at American University accused those who opposed #IranDeal of making common cause with those in Iran who chant “Death to America”.

We should ALL,the Dems,the GOP,the media,admit our role in turning politics into theatre. Being outrageous equals clicks,viewers & therefore ratings & $ for media & fame for politicians. Being normal gets you ignored & a primary challenger for being “too weak”.

Well, that came out of nowhere. Marco Rubio destroyed Barack Obama on Twitter. He blasted Obama for doing the same exact things he accuses Trump of.
