Donald Trump’s not the only one calling out reporters on Twitter.

A Washington Post story headlined, “5 people who are never going to be Donald Trump’s vice president,” Sen. Marco Rubio took aim at the reporter’s liberal use of “unnamed sources” and “those close to the senator.”

And the Florida Republican used the presumptive GOP presidential nominee’s favorite social media tool to do it — Twitter.

Funny to read about unnamed “people close” to me who claim to know my thinking on future plans.They just make it up. https://t.co/jiEYMugVHz
