Marco Rubio experienced some unfortunate technical difficulties while delivering a speech to top diplomats in India.
The secretary of state’s remarks at the Quad foreign ministers’ meeting—talks featuring the foreign ministers of Australia, India, Japan, and the U.S.—were hampered on Tuesday when Rubio’s microphone failed to work properly.
After frantically fiddling with the mic in an attempt to get it working, Rubio carried on with his speech undeterred, even though his remarks were not being transmitted properly.
U.S. Ambassador to India Sergio Gor, who was seated next to Rubio at the meeting, came to his rescue by pressing a button at the base of the microphone to turn it on.

Marco's known as the "The Disappearing Secretary of State," they probably couldn't see him.
