Republican presidential candidate Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) said Sunday that “it doesn’t matter” what about his record on immigration was factually inaccurate in rival Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX)’s attack ad against him.

NBC “Meet the Press” host Chuck Todd played a snippet of the ad which compared audio of Rubio talking about his immigration policy to President Barack Obama’s plan and noted the similarities.

Todd asked Rubio which part of the ad was untrue.

“It doesn’t matter,” Rubio stated. “First of all, people didn’t care about it. This is an attack that has now been going on in state after state, and people are processing and they understand that this is a serious issue that needs to be solved.”

“Number two,” Rubio continued. “I can put the exact same ad on about Ted Cruz.”
