Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) was called out over the weekend after he claimed that reporters are expressing "glee & delight" at the rising number of COVID-19 cases in the United States.
Rubio made the remark in a tweet on Sunday.
"Some in our media can’t contain their glee & delight in reporting that the U.S. has more #CoronaVirus cases than #China," he wrote. "Beyond being grotesque, its (sic) bad journalism."
Twitter users responded by lashing out at Rubio.
