Buzzfeed pointed out that the bill Marco Rubio attacked Ted Cruz for voting against was one he in turn did not attend and vote for.
On Tuesday night Rubio attacked Cruz during the debate for voting against the annual bill that authorizes military spending for the fiscal year. It was reported Rubio missed the vote to campaign in New Hampshire.Rubio said:
Three times he voted against the Defense Authorization Act, which is a bill that funds the troops. It also, by the way, funds the Iron Dome and other important programs and I have to assume that if you vote against it in the Senate, you would also veto it as president.

One of Cruz’s “nay” votes was on October 7. It was a vote Rubio missed. The bill passed 70-27, despite his absence.
Rubio told CNN:
When I miss a vote, it’s not because I’m not playing golf. We’re out campaigning for the future of America where I believe I can make more of a difference as president than I could as a senator.
