On Monday, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) called the peaceful protesters who were cleared away from the White House by police "professional agitators" — and suggested they "deliberately" provoked police action.




Rubio's tweet provoked anger, with some commenters pointing out that the police advanced nearly a half hour before the curfew was scheduled to start.
