Marco Rubio Just Responded To His Awkward Ivanka Moment And It Immediately Backfired

Earlier today, the internet erupted over a photo of Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) awkwardly attempting to hug a seemingly reluctant Ivanka Trump.

Now, Rubio has taken to Twitter in an attempt to play it cool. Playing it cool, however, is far from Rubio’s strong suit.

The Florida Senator tweeted five times in a half hour, first mocking the fervor by suggesting he would look into the “important matter” soon:

And then, after mocking the idea getting “photographic evidence,” Rubio actually did the very thing he was ridiculing. He tweeted out a picture of the incident, in which the First Daughter touched him — on purpose!

More than an hour after he began tweeting about the encounter, Rubio found another photo of the First Daughter touching him, so he shared that too:

Then, and hour and a half in:

Twitter was not impressed by Rubio’s attempt at humor, and they let him know it in no uncertain terms. Special shoutout to the many, who turned the conversation back to Rubio’s complicity in Senate Republicans’ unprecedented secrecy surrounding their Trumpcare bill and the devastating effects it would have on the American public.

It’s impossible to say how much more time and energy Rubio will spend tweeting about his physical contact with Ivanka. We’ll update the story well into the night if we have to.

For now, enjoy these responses:
