Infowars provocateur Alex Jones irritated Sen. Marco Rubio Wednesday, causing the Senator to tell Jones that he would “take care” of him if need be.

Rubio was in a media gaggle Wednesday (during a recess in a Senate intelligence hearing regarding Twitter and Facebook) when Jones patted him on the shoulder, causing the Senator to grimace in disgust.

“Don’t touch me again, man … You’re not going to get arrested, man. I’ll take care of you myself,” Sen.

“Don’t touch me. I’m asking you not to touch me,” Rubio said to Jones. “I don’t want to be touched. I don’t know who you are.”

Jones protested.

Rubio emphasized that he was serious.

“You’re not going to get arrested,” Rubio told Jones. “I’ll take care of [it] myself.”

Jones, clearly relishing the successful provocation, said: “He’ll beat me up!”

Rubio grimaced again.

“I didn’t say that,” said the Senator.

Rubio, per The Hill, marveled at Jones, “a heckler in a press gaggle.”

Jones seemed to be attempting to call Rubio’s attention to so-called “shadowbanning of conservatives,” while Rubio reiterated his concern about foreign interference in elections via social platforms, until the gaggle was derailed.
