Rubio's PAC makes $119,000 off awkward water break

Reclaim America PAC, Rubio's political action committee, has sold over 4,000 water bottles with the Republican senator's name on it. Terry Sullivan, a spokesman for the PAC, says they had received $119,200 in donations as of Monday morning.

The PAC started selling the water bottles for contributions of $25 to $250 last week, after Rubio was mocked for an unfortunately dry mouth and awkward reach for water during his live response to President Obama's State of the Union address. The website jokes that people can "send the liberal detractors a message that not only does Marco Rubio inspire you... he hydrates you too."

Rubio tweeted a picture of the water bottle just after he spoke, lighthearted about the situation. His PAC seized on the attention to benefit from the viral moment.
