In a recent appearance on Fox News, Republican presidential candidate Marco Rubio deflected questions about his shift on immigration reform, saying there has been "no flip-flop" on his part and painting Hillary Clinton as the real flip-flopper on the issue.

"She's never done anything on it," the Florida senator said Thursday on Outnumbered. "She was a U.S. senator and never did anything on immigration. She gave speeches about it. It's interesting, a couple months ago she talked about—she's in favor of all citizenship. Just a few years ago she wasn't in favor of giving them driver's licenses. This has been a dramatic shift on her part and a changing of her opinion."
