MIAMI (CBSMiami) – Sen. Marco Rubio went on a Twitter tirade Monday night against the Washington Post and some of their articles.

The barrage of tweets started at 10:17 p.m. when he posted this:

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

— Marco Rubio (@marcorubio) May 17, 2016

Rubio didn't like the Washington Post's decision to use unnamed sources "close to him."

Unnamed sources "close to" often just people who want to sound like they are in the know. And reporters desperate for content just accept it

— Marco Rubio (@marcorubio) May 17, 2016

He said that post gave him a flashback to another article he had an issue with.

Flashback to another article quoting a "longtime friend" saying I "hate" Senate. Words I have NEVER said to anyone. https://t.co/VZ9J7wznsZ

And then he just continued with the flurry of tweets.

Word of advice, people often claim to know more than they really do because they enjoy status of being perceived as "in the know".

Another genius line claims that Im "a bit at sea in terms of his next step politically". Ummmm Not really. https://t.co/jiEYMugVHz

I have only said like 10000 times I will be a private citizen in January.

He followed that up with one that could be interpreted as a shot at presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump.

As for future in politics, well it's nearly impossible for someone not in office to ever become a successful candidate for President.Right?

— Marco Rubio (@marcorubio) May 17, 2016

He then took a 30 minute break before tweeting a few more.

A source "close to Rubio" says he was tired after long day & has decided to sleep for a few hours before tomorrow's ZIKA debate in Senate.

A "longtime friend" says Rubio is "betwixt and between when it comes to whether to chest or legs tomorrow at gym."

— Marco Rubio (@marcorubio) May 17, 2016

According to source who knows his cousins, wife's dentist, Rubio could do cardio instead.

After an hour and 10 minutes of ranting, Rubio ended it with this:

Ok that's enough for one night. Twitter isn't something you should just rush back into. You have to slowly increase the dosage.......
