title: SOCIAL MEDIA ERUPTS Over Awkward Photo Of Marco Rubio Attempting To Hug Ivanka Trump…Rubio’s Responses Are HILARIOUS!
text: Sometimes all you can do is surrender to Twitter.Florida Sen. Marco Rubio probably started out his day Tuesday thinking about paid family leave, child care tax credits and other deep issues. But when Twitter went wild over an awkward photo of him leaning in for a hug with Ivanka Trump when she arrived for a Capitol Hill meeting, Rubio was smart enough to play along.The photo, taken by an Associated Press congressional reporter with an iPhone, appears to show Trump declining to hug Rubio back as the two greet one another just outside the Capitol.Twitter users dissected the seemingly awkward moment endlessly. They compared Rubio to Ralph Wiggum from  The Simpsons  when he doesn t get a Valentine s Day card, and to Dr. Evil from  Austin Powers  asking his son for a hug.  NYPMarco Rubio responded to critics on Twitter by mocking the  awkward hug  in a series of hilarious tweets.

Fake news! Marco is an excellent hugger  https://t.co/Dk7XXRQlX8  Ivanka Trump (@IvankaTrump) June 20, 2017Ivanka took it a step further with her next tweet where she used phrases like  anonymous sources  and talked about the  planned  and  alleged  hug to which she had  no comment . Ivanka was clearly taking a swipe at the media who regularly uses words like  anonymous sources  and  alleged  in their  fake news  hit pieces on her father.Anonymous sources say @marcorubio planned the alleged failed hug. I have no comment (but I would have hugged him anyway!  ) https://t.co/TChrqWsL4D  Ivanka Trump (@IvankaTrump) June 20, 2017
