During Wednesday’s Republican presidential debate on CNBC, Senator Marco Rubio (Fl.) excoriated the Florida newspaper The Sun-Sentinel and debate co-moderator Carl Quintanilla for raising questions about his young age and calls for him to resign from the Senate due to missed votes as examples of “a double standard” and “bias that exists in the American media today.”

Turning to Rubio, Quintanilla first attacked him over the age in which he’s launching a presidential bid by first describing him as “a young man in a hurry ever since you won your first election for your 20s.”
