“I mean I needed water, what am I going to do,” Rubio said on NBC’s Good Morning America, after again ducking away from the camera to reach for his water bottle. “God has a funny way of reminding us that we’re human.”

Tuesday night as he delivered the live GOP response, the Florida senator seemed nervous and awkwardly paused at one point to grab an off-camera bottle of water and take a sip.

Rubio told CBS’s “This Morning that” he wasn’t nervous, but had “already taped an eighteen-minute speech in Spanish” after a long day at work, and “when you talk a lot, it happens.” Rubio on Wednesday sought to return attention to the president’s policies, continuing to jab at Obama’s address.

Dude, you’re a robot. YOU DO NOT NEED WATER.
