Rubio's Face While McCain Spoke At Comey Hearing Basically Sums It Up
… What?
Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) confused the hell out of people during former FBI director James Comey’s testimony before the Senate Intelligence Committee on Thursday.
This was mostly because the senator spent a good chunk of his seven-minute questioning time asking Comey about Hillary Clinton’s emails instead of focusing on the current investigation involving President Donald Trump’s campaign aides and their contact with Russian officials during the 2016 election.
Baffled, Comey told McCain, that “the Clinton email investigation was complete,” but McCain kept at it.
Comey wasn’t alone in his bewilderment. People echoed a similar sentiment on Twitter.

Obviously not a great morning for McCain but some perspective: it was still better than the time he chose Sarah Palin for VP of the US.

I'm still dwelling on the McCain testimony. He went full Charlie Day. And you never go full Charlie Day. pic.twitter.com/R5lUKeogh0

Emma Loop, a Capitol Hill reporter for Buzzfeed News, was at the hearing and tweeted a few of senators’ facial expressions while McCain spoke, and they’re pretty telling:

The best of which was Sen. Marco Rubio’s (R-Fla.) face.

I think my favorite is Rubio. He's like, "oh here comes McCain again, dude rambled to me about his pancakes yesterday."
