Heckler accuses Marco Rubio of 'trying to steal' his girlfriend

For those who thought election season could not get weirder – think again.

A heckler was removed during a Marco Rubio rally on Sunday after he interrupted the Floridan Senator and accused him of “trying to steal” his girlfriend.

The crowd erupted in laughter as the heckler continued his rant.

“They met in New Hampshire and she doesn’t look at me in the same way anymore – I’m serious.

“Yeah, he’s a little bit better looking than me, that’s true. But, he’s trying to steal my girlfriend. That’s the truth.

“You guys shouldn’t vote for him. He’s probably going to steal yours too.”

Rubio coolly dealt with the heckler, replying – “I didn’t even win New Hampshire.”

Moments after the unidentified man was ejected, he quipped “I’m still looking for the hidden camera.”

Marco Rubio finds himself a distant third in the 2016 Republican presidential nomination race; with many expecting Donald Trump to extend his lead in tomorrow's 'Super Tuesday'.
