For nearly five minutes as Rubio answered questions from Hill.TV and other reporters, Jones taunted Rubio outside a hearing where Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey and Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg offered testimony before the Senate Intelligence Committee.

“Who is this clown,” Rubio asked, “a heckler at a press gaggle?”

Jones made fun of Rubio's answers and at one point touched the senator's shoulder.

“Don't touch me man,” Rubio warned as a member of his Capitol Hill police detail stepped in to shield the senator.

Jones pulled back a bit.

“I can take care of myself,” Rubio said.

“Marco Rubio just threatened to beat me up,” Jones told a camera trailing him around on Capitol Hill.

“I didn't say that,” Rubio said before wrapping up an answer to a reporter question and excusing himself from the situation.

“You guys can talk to this clown,” Rubio said.
