'Send in the Clowns' plays as Marco Rubio enters ceremony

Secretary of State Marco Rubio was greeted by the song Send in the Clowns during his entrance at a recent ceremony. The musical selection occurred as he arrived to participate in the event.

Danish officials have since addressed the incident, stating that they had no input regarding the choice of music played during the Secretary of State's arrival. No further details were provided regarding how the song was selected or why it was broadcast at that moment.
