Heated exchange between Rubio and Alex Jones in the Senate hallway — Jones crashes a Rubio interview and touches Rubio's shoulder. Rubio tells Jones not touch him again, says he'll "take care of you myself" rather than calling the police.

1. I'm not a fighter

But I don't think a physical challenge from Marco Rubio would cause me any concern.

In any case, Alex Jones: You gonna just take that from Rubio?

5. Perhaps Not

But, i picture Jones as a blustering buffoon who would melt into the fetal position in the face of physical confrontation.

2. Haha...that would be worth watching...

Jesus what a shitshow.

[Hortensis]

3. Over-strong reaction for the cameras, I'm guessing.

Trump's not the only one who can kill everything he touches.

4. Wow. Talk about biting the hand that feeds you

Rubio can object all he wants but people like Jones built the party Rubio is now a member of.

13. Jesus Christ. I guess the fact he got away with that shows how unimportant he is.

I keep thinking about the encounter between Fred Guttenburg and Kavanaugh yesterday and the right freaking out over its “grandstanding.” Yet that creep insults, bellows over and actually grabs a Senator and he gets four minutes of craziness before being chuckled at and left.

Jones is a madman.

7. Why? I thought they were on the same "team".

9. I thought Rubio was throwing him a bone.

The GOP needs to net the nutjobs flourish.

10. How Did This Dirtbag

get so close to the empty suit? Honestly, I would've thought that he'd have his face pushed through the floor the second he put his hand on a senator.

[Aristus]

11. Oh BOY! A pushy-pushy!

I'd like to see those two clowns throw down on each other. The scratching, the hair-pulling, the pushing of the shoulders...

[RockaFowler]

12. How did Alex Jones get so close to a Senator??

Something is rather fishy here.

Was one of those reporters from InfoWars??

[nolabear]

15. It was seriously weird. And out of control. Where were they?

The newspeople looked small time. And clearly had no idea what to do with the situation, though I give that reporter much respect for keeping on.

Ick ick ick.

17. You can get as close as you like in the Capitol and in the Senate office buildings

They have to walk through the hallways to get from place to place just like anyone else. They are open public buildings.

14. Bwah HAH!1 Let's see, which one to pick!1 The great Jack BENNY said,"I'm thinking, I'm *thinking*!1"

16. Oh BIg Boo

both are fraidy cat cowards

[VMA131Marine]

18. I give better than even odds that this was a scripted exchange between Jones and Rubio

Gives Rubio a chance to look tough and "bipartisan"
