Sen. Marco Rubio blasted Hillary Clinton Wednesday for her handling of a hearing before the House Select Committee on Benghazi last week that was widely perceived as a victory for her presidential campaign.

The Florida Republican slammed the press during the third GOP primary debate Wednesday evening for touting Clinton's appearance as a political win.

"The mainstream media is going around saying it was the greatest week in Hillary Clinton's campaign," Rubio said. "It was the week she got exposed as a liar."

He highlighted evidence that emerged in the hearing that indicated Clinton knew the 2012 terror attack was not prompted by a spontaneous protest despite telling the public it was.
