AP Photo Rubio repeats two nearly identical phrases — again

Whoops, he did it again.

Speaking at Nashua Community College in New Hampshire on Monday, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio repeated two nearly identical phrases about family values and raising kids in modern times.


“We are taking our message to families that are struggling to raise their children in the 21st century, because as you saw, Jeanette and I are raising our four children in the 21st century,” he said without taking a breath.

“And we know how hard it is to install our values in our kids, instead of the values they try to ram down our throats," he added.

Rubio then said more or less the same thing again.

“In the 21st century it’s become harder than ever to instill in your children the values they teach in our homes and in our church, instead of the values they try to ram down our throats in the movies, in music, in popular culture,” he said after a brief pause, seeming to recognize his mistake as he said the word "throats."
