A Democratic congresswoman bizarrely pressed Secretary of State Marco Rubio on the fit of shoes gifted to him by President Trump during a hearing that went haywire before the Foreign Affairs committee.<\/p>\n

California Rep. Sara Jacobs led the charge Wednesday against what she called Rubio\u2019s inability to \u201cadmit facts\u201d on the Iran war \u2013 and mentioned a pair of dress shoes Trump gave him that were apparently \u201ctoo big\u201d as evidence.<\/p>\n

\u201cMr. Secretary, it seems like you have an issue admitting facts\u2026 You couldn\u2019t admit the shoes the president bought you were too big,\u201d Jacobs said.<\/p>\n

Rubio had no idea what she was even referring to.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know about the shoes, I mean, [Trump] gave me some Florsheim shoes that are actually pretty good, they fit fine, I don\u2019t know what she\u2019s talking about,\u201d the perplexed secretary said.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, Trump reportedly gifted Rubio and Vice President JD Vance pairs of black dress shoes, but photos showed that they appeared to be a size too big for the men.<\/p>\n

Jacobs schmoozed up to Rubio in an attempt to save her odd, meandering argument.<\/p>\n

\u201cYour shoes look very nice today, Mr. Secretary,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Rubio then handily schooled the wayward Democrats.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

\u201cHow can you see them? They\u2019re way down here. We\u2019re talking about shoes. Are you guys kidding me? I mean, is this the Foreign Affairs committee or is this, like, a circus? What is this?\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Rubio later guffawed at an \u201cabsurd and ridiculous\u201d line of questioning about Trump\u2019s sleeping habits. He insisted that the president displays remarkable energy and stays awake during long trips abroad.<\/p>\n
