Marco Rubio said Monday that his presidential run would be over if his campaign manager forcibly grabbed a reporter, as Donald Trump's top aide has been accused of doing to a Breitbart reporter.

The Florida senator told conservative radio host Mike Gallagher that if Corey Lewandowski really did grab Michelle Fields, the Breitbart reporter who resigned on Sunday, “it’s one more example of what’s happening here at these events.”

“If my campaign manager had done that, my campaign would be over. He would have had to resign, and my campaign may be over. I would have had to quit that very day," Rubio said.

Trump and his campaign have denied that Lewandowski almost pulled Fields to the ground as she was trying to ask Trump a question last Tuesday after his evening press conference. Since then, the Republican front-runner has increasingly come under fire for inciting violence at his rallies, which he denies any responsibility for.

In a string of recent incidents within the past week, a protester charged toward Trump before being apprehended by Secret Service agents, a black protester was punched by a 78-year-old Trump supporter, and Fields was allegedly grabbed by Lewandowski.

Rubio, who trails the New York billionaire in Florida ahead of the state’s winner-take-all Tuesday primary, condemned both the protesters and Trump’s rhetoric.

“You don’t have a right to disrupt an event because you don’t like the person speaking, and I’ve been very clear about that,” Rubio said. “But the reaction should not be, ‘So let’s punch them in the face.’”

“When you’re in a position of influence or leadership, when you have the megaphone of a major presidential candidate, you cannot go around saying whatever the hell you want, because there are people out there that are unstable and you don’t know how they’re going to react to that stimulus,” Rubio continued.
