Then he started listing off a series of South Florida Republican politicians.
"Marco Rubio, Nelson Diaz, Manny Diaz, Manny Diaz Jr., Carlos Gimenez … Y'all better go eat a Cuban sandwich, bro," St. Felix said. "Get him out of here, man. Get him out of here, man. They embarrass my family. … Y'all torturing my son, man. I got two sons, man. Y'all torturing my son, man. Get him out of here, man. All right, cameraman. All right. Marco Rubio. … That's right."
