Marco Rubio Pretty Hilariously Puts #Bootghazi to Rest and Discusses His College Foam Parties
Let's just be honest here - who expected Marco Rubio to be quite this funny during his Tonight Show appearance on Thursday night? It's hard to watch his interview with host Jimmy Fallon and not be impressed with A) his attitude over the "high-heeled bootie" scandal and B) his comedy chops.
In the late night circuit of 2016, Fallon may often be associated with the guy who is most likely to make visiting Presidential candidates look good; it's not likely that a guest is going to get peppered with hard-hitting policy questions.
