On Tuesday, Ivanka Trump — a top aide and daughter to the president — went to the Capitol to discuss parental leave with lawmakers. Sen. Marco Rubio attempted to greet her, and this happened.
Ohhhhh nooooo.
"Bro, what r u doin?" -This guy, and America.
Naturally, people immediately began to troll the photo.
Can you. Do you mind if I? Just a little. Okay. Here's. Are you okay with this? I just wanted to. Hi. Can I? Do you? https://t.co/ORVzdX3DF3
They said it was a bit robotic, to say the least.
Love to engage in that famous human show of affection, the hug https://t.co/xTyqOGtaia
Back off, dude!
Nothing about @IvankaTrump's body language invites this hug from @marcorubio.
No no no.
"i retweeted you this morning" "yes, i know" "let's hug" "don't" https://t.co/xpEs4wAfWf
Awk awk awk.
*Rubio after waiting for two hours behind the pillar "Wow, Ivanka, what a surprise. It's so good to see you again."
Others hearkened back to another recent horrible hug.
I knew Marco Rubio's hug looked familiar
And of course, Rubio's other awk moments. :(
Why was that #MarcoRubio / #IvankaTrump hug so awkward? I think we know.
Rubio has since addressed the ~controversy~, claiming the photo was just a bad angle.
New photo emerges providing more insight into alleged failed hug. (Faces blurred for security purposes)
Fake news! Marco is an excellent hugger... https://t.co/Dk7XXRQlX8
