Seriously though, what isgoing on here?!
The awkward exchange lit up the internet. Does Marco Rubio read social cues really poorly? Why does Ivanka look so done? Is this even real life?

There was somebusiness conducted after the shifty hug attempt. The Trump administration is pushing for six weeks of mandatory paid family leave, according to Politico.The mandate proposed by Ivanka isn't very popular among Republicans, but has captured support from some, including from Awkward Rubio.
Later photos of Ivanka and Rubio don't look nearly as awkward as their initial hug.

UPDATE June 20th 2.23 p.m. PT: Rubio responded to the whole thing on Twitter later Tuesday with a series of lame jokes.
