Taking advantage of what has now become a world-famous signature grab for water during his televised response to the State of the Union, Sen. Marco Rubio has collected more than $100,000 for his political action committee by selling personalized water bottles.
Buzzfeed reports that Rubio’s Reclaim America has sold at least 3,100 of the PAC’s "Marco Rubio Water Bottles" for donations of $25 or more.
"Send the liberal detractors a message that not only does Marco Rubio inspire you…he hydrates you too," the donation page reads.
Rubio has made light on the incident in interviews with Newsmax and other groups followng his speech Tuesday.
He told Newsmax that the thirst quencher was because "God has a funny way of reminding us that we're human."
