Rubio: Dems have ultimate super PAC in mainstream media

Sen. Marco Rubio said Wednesday night that Hillary Clinton got a free pass by the media in coverage of her testimony about the embassy attack in Benghazi that killed four Americans.

"The Democrats have the ultimate super PAC — it's called the mainstream media," Rubio said at the GOP presidential debate.

"Last week, Hillary Clinton went before a committee. She admitted she sent emails to her family saying, 'This attack on Benghazi was caused by Al Qaeda-like elements.' She spent over a week telling the families of those victims and the American people that it was because of a video. And yet, the mainstream media is going around saying it was the greatest week in Hillary Clinton's campaign ... It was the week she got exposed as a liar."

Cruz contrasted Wednesday's GOP debate to the last Democratic debate, where he said "every fawning question was 'which of you is more handsome and wise?'"
