Rubio told reporters aboard his campaign plane on Monday night that he "felt bad" for Rick Tyler.

Tyler was asked to resign earlier in the day after spreading a false news story that Rubio had criticized the bible.

Rubio said: "Right now Ted Cruz is in charge of his campaign...and if his campaign has created a culture of misleading people and saying things that aren't true and lies, he's responsible for that."
