Rubio Pokes Fun at Awkward Hug With Ivanka

Sen. Marco Rubio on Tuesday made fun of the attention being paid to what appeared to be an awkward hug between him and Ivanka Trump before their meeting on "pro-family" tax reform.

The fuss all started when Twitter users started making fun of a photo posted by a reporter from the Associated Press of Rubio greeting Trump on Capitol Hill ahead of their meeting.

Rubio then tweeted: "Just left Intel comm & informed meeting 2day with @IvankaTrump blowing up twitter over alleged failed hug! Investigating. Will respond soon."

Rubio tweeted later he had photographic evidence that would "shed greater details on this incident," including, perhaps, a "multi-angle video."

He also asked for help from others in the "active investigation."

Trump also went on Twitter to poke fun at the attention.

Anonymous sources say @marcorubio planned the alleged failed hug. I have no comment (but I would have hugged him anyway! 🤗) https://t.co/TChrqWsL4D
