Based on video footage from their interaction, Jones butted into a press conference with Rubio after the meeting and asked him about an alleged purge of conservative voices from online media. Rubio seems like he’s trying to ignore the notorious shock-jock but Jones keeps pressing him with more questions. When the senator tries to answer a question from a reporter, Jones interrupts and speaks over him.
At one point Rubio calls Jones a “dumba**.” But nevertheless, Jones persists and manages to get the senator’s full attention.
Their conversation takes a turn when Jones puts a hand on Rubio’s shoulder.
“Hey, don’t touch me again, man. I’m asking you not to touch me again,” Rubio said, his eyes shooting daggers at Jones.
“You’re not gonna get arrested man,” he continued, before making what sounds like a veiled threat. “I’ll take care of it myself.”
“Oh, he’s so mad. You’re not going to silence me. You’re not going to silence America.” Jones said after accusing Rubio of threatening to “beat him up.”
