Go long!
Presidential candidate Marco Rubio accidentally nailed a child in the head with a football during a playful game of catch on a campaign stop, a new video shows.
In the short clip, posted on Twitter by Bloomberg Politics, the Florida Republican senator delivers a softly thrown, but tight, spiral to a young child running with arms open during a campaign stop at the Iowa State Fair in Des Moines.
But the child missed the ball, which hits him squarely in the face.
According to multiple reports, the child was not hurt.

That’ll teach the kid to catch the ball with his hands and not his face.

Poor kid. Should have had Obama throw him the ball. Wouldn't have come within 30 feet of him.

This most recent incident comes just hours after Marco Rubio in an apparent fit of road rage was seen leaving the scene of a string of hit and run collisions.

Not to disrespect females, but, Obama throws like a girl.
To: Doogle
Hey now...I’m a NY Jets fan. I’m pretty sure we have no one who can throw the ball that good, let alone a receiver that can get that close to the ball after running a route...LOL!

Marco, go away. No one will remember you when you’re dead.
To: BenLurkin
I giggle whenever I see that. =)
To: Dilbert San Diego
No problem. I throw like a girl, and I know it.

It’s a metaphor for people who think Rubio is conservative. They’ll just get hit in the face later.
