Republican presidential candidate Marco Rubio says Democratic hopeful Bernie Sanders’ political leanings belong in another country.

“I think Bernie Sanders is a great candidate for president — of Norway,” Rubio said Saturday at the New Hampshire GOP’s First In The Nation presidential town hall in Nashua.

“I don’t want to be called Norwegian , I have nothing against Norway. We have a really good candidate for you: Bernie Sanders.”

The Florida senator’s barb comes just weeks before the first votes are cast in Iowa and New Hampshire, as Sanders closes his gap with Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton in Iowa and continues to gain strength in New Hampshire.
