How did Marco Rubio respond to criticism about his controversial campaign spending, particularly the $134 haircut charged to his GOP credit card?

Marco Rubio addressed the controversy surrounding his $100,000+ in party fund spending with humor and deflection. When confronted about the infamous $134 haircut charged to his GOP credit card, Rubio used self-deprecating wit to dismiss the criticism, joking that "spending money on a haircut is not a crime" and that "the only crime is looking this good." This response demonstrates how politicians often use humor as a strategic tool to navigate potentially damaging financial controversies and redirect public attention away from serious questions about campaign finance ethics.
