Donald Trump unleashed two ads attacking Marco Rubio in his home state of Florida on Wednesday.

The latest spots, which follows another one released Monday titled "Corrupt Marco," attempt to tie the Florida senator to his past political and personal acquaintances, notably during his time as the state legislature's speaker of the House.

Like that ad, the visuals are sparse, but clear: Rubio's head is shown in a circle, with two lines drawn to photos of former state Rep. Ralph Arza and former U.S. Rep. David Rivera.

Trump shared the ad on Twitter:

Keep lightweight Marco and his friends out of the White House. #MakeAmericaGreatAgain #Trump2016 pic.twitter.com/hNkkRx66Hc — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 9, 2016

“When Marco Rubio became speaker of the House, he brought his friends along for the ride," a narrator intones. The ad notes that Rubio's "spiritual adviser, Ralph Arza, resigned from office after lobbing racial slurs and being convicted of witness tampering."

Arza withdrew from further reelection after being charged in 2006 with one felony count each of retaliating against and tampering with a witness. Contrary to the ad's claim, he was not convicted but rather avoided a felony trial, after which he was sentenced to 18 months probation.

"His best friend and roommate, David Rivera, was found guilty of ethics violations and is currently under FBI investigation," the narrator says.

The glowing ring around Rubio's photo turns red and appears to burn as the narrator says, "Where are these friends today? Spotted on the campaign trail with Marco. Keep Marco and his friends out of the White House.”

The Miami Herald reported that both Arza and Rivera campaigned on Rubio's behalf ahead of the Iowa caucuses.

In the second ad with similar visuals, shared minutes after the first on Twitter, the narrator calls Rubio "another dishonest politician" after remarking upon a series of stories suggesting impropriety on the part of Rubio during his time spent after being a state legislator and before running for the Senate.
