MIAMI (CBSMiami) -- Supporters of presidential hopeful Marco Rubio got into a fight with a protester dressed as a robot outside a polling station in New Hampshire Tuesday morning.

Video posted on YouTube  shows the protester approaching a crowd of Rubio supporters outside the polling station.

That's when one man is seen apparently trying to block the protester with a giant Rubio sign while another pulls the protester away.

The protester can be heard saying, "Why do you have your hands on me? Look at all these cameras."

The protester is then joined by another person dressed as a robot with the letters "Rubio Talking Point 3000" written across it. That man later said over Twitter he was pushed to the ground.

Pictures also show another protester appearing to be pushed by a Rubio supporter.

The hashtag #RobotRubio has been popping up all over social media following his performance at Saturday night's Republican debate. That's where the Florida senator repeated the same attack line numerous times drawing criticism from his rival Chris Chrisitie during the debate.

Critics came out calling his attacks repetitive and robotic.
