Marco Rubio slammed President Barack Obama's plan to visit Cuba and defended calling Ted Cruz a liar at CNN's GOP town hall in South Carolina.
The Florida senator said that if he were president, he would not visit the island nation -- unless it were a "free Cuba."
The Cuban government is "an anti-American communist dictatorship," said the Cuban-American senator, who has been an outspoken critic of Obama's Cuba policy. "They're a repressive regime."
Rubio also doubled down on his recent accusation that Cruz is "lying," saying there is simply "no other word" for his rival's behavior.
Rubio insisted, however, that his escalating feud with Cruz was "not the core of my campaign."
Cruz, a Texas senator, will appear separately at the town hall later in the evening, but he has previously rejected the accusation of lies leveled by Rubio and other opponents.
Watch the town hall live now and follow complete coverage of the presidential campaign on CNN TV, CNN.com and CNN Mobile.
