One of the campaign season's most heated -- and bizarre -- feuds has apparently been put to rest as Republican U.S. Senator Marco Rubio told CNN that he apologized to GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump for a taunt that implied Trump had a small penis.

Of course, Rubio's original insults led to this magical moment (see video below) during the March 3, 2016 GOP debate.

Meanwhile, while Rubio did seemingly warm to Trump, he once again kiboshed those rumors that he'd be Trump's running mate come the general election.
For now, it seems, Rubio will stick to his signature tweetstorms.
