The First Daughter and Florida senator met today to discuss tax reform with a few other senators, but the awkwardness of that photo got a lot of play on social media.
Well, Rubio decided to get a little snarky about the attention on Twitter later:

We are also attempting to acquire multi-angle video which we believe will provide greater insight into this important matter.
