Marco Rubio To Alex Jones: 'Don't Touch Me Again, Man'

Source: Huffington Post

While speaking to reporters, Rubio was consistently interrupted by Jones, who claimed that the “Democrats are raping Republicans.”

Video of the exchange shows Rubio finally breaking with reporters to confront Jones.

“Who’s this guy?” Rubio asked of Jones. “I just don’t know who you are, man.”

“Sure. Sure. They demonize me in these hearings and then he plays dumb,” Jones said.

Jones was likely referring to his recent bans on platforms including YouTube and Facebook, which cited his hate speech and harassment as reason behind the censure.

Rubio began to laugh at Jones in the video.

“Marco Rubio the snake,” Jones replied. “Hur hur hur. Little frat boy over here.”

Jones then patted Rubio on the shoulder.

“Don’t touch me again, man. I’m asking you not to touch me,” Rubio said.

is performing a valuable service to society. I found myself having a newfound respect and admiration for Marco Rubio while viewing this exchange, even if it subsided and completely went away after a couple of seconds.

It's like Night Of The Living Dead, but Alex Jones infects people with lunacy.

With Marco it'll be hard to tell the difference.

He talks over everyone, keeps plugging his name whenever he can, he just demands attention, then acts like a complete lunatic when he has it. I never thought this could be said, but Alex Jones is even crazier and more unglued than before. Someone should rearrange Mr. Jones' face for him, but the ensuing law suits would tire anyone out.

WHAT A FREAKING LOON!

He was bragging at his show, that he would do this. Break into live reporting to get the screen time. He does it, and such Guerilla Marketing works nicely. He is an asshole - but he is not stupid. Just a shock jockey spitting stupid BS, to sell his fake vitamin powders....

until finally near the end, one person asked "Why are you giving him airtime? Don't give him airtime!".

One thing I did notice was at one point, Rubio's hackles rose up for a brief second and he was about to get all Cuban on someone, but quickly pulled back.

Both are losers and full of shit. They both lie to gain attention. Both just need to go away, far away.
