Here Is a Video of Marco Rubio Accidentally Hitting a Kid in the Head With a Football


Marco Rubio decided to play a friendly game of “toss a football to children to demonstrate to voters how normal and approachable I am” at the Iowa State Fair this week. Things didn’t go as planned.

Our friends at SB Nation say it was the kid’s fault.

This isn’t some political statement. Marco Rubio is fine here. We’re not talking about his politics, we’ll leave that up to you — but this is 100 percent on the hands (or head) of his receiver. The kid’s arms are wide like he’s catching a beach ball, his coordination is all off. Rubio threw a tight spiral.
