From POLITICO:
Sen. Marco Rubio put aside serious reservations about Rex Tillerson and announced Monday he’ll back the former ExxonMobil chief for secretary of state, effectively clinching his confirmation.
The support of the Florida Republican means Tillerson will clear a Monday evening in the Senate Foreign Relations Committee instead of facing an embarrassing “unfavorable” verdict by the panel. Rubio’s decision likely foreshadows unanimous GOP support for Tillerson, who had made some Republicans nervous about his closeness to Russian President Vladimir Putin and reluctance to criticize Putin’s actions during his confirmation hearing.
The Trump administration exerted a full-court press on Rubio in recent days. Rubio met with Tillerson last week and said afterward that Tillerson had addressed “some” of his concerns. Republican senators predicted that Rubio would ultimately vote for Tillerson, arguing it made no sense for the Florida senator to invite retribution from Trump just days into a new administration.

“By ignoring his serious reservations about Tillerson’s connections to Vladimir Putin, Marco Rubio is not only rolling over for Donald Trump, he’s earning the nickname Trump gave him: Little Marco,” said DNC Senior Adviser Zac Petkanas.
Tillerson’s nomination represented the first major confrontation between the Senate GOP and Trump, but ultimately the hawkish opposition to Tillerson dissolved as his confirmation vote drew near. First Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) said Sunday he will support Tillerson, then Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) fell in line.
In other words…Just like every other time Little Marco, Grandpa Underpants and Lindseypoo have made a lot of noise about their deep-seated principles, you can be assured that they have none. They bring lots of attention to themselves, and then they cave in order to toe the party line. It’s happened time and time again, and it will continue to happen. Little Marco makes noise and stamps his tiny high-heeled boots, because he wants to run for president again. Grandpa Underpants grumbles so he will be invited to all the Sunday shows. Lindseypoo just wants to impress his boyfriend Captain Underpants. There is not an ounce of political courage among them.
Yep, you hit the nail on the head. A bunch of weaklings who can’t support their own principles- that is if they have any. Those three senators did a lot of barking and then tucked their tail and rolled over. What a shame.
They keep telling us how they are so patriotic and principled, but they now follow a disgusting pig with no morals and who has never done a patriotic thing in his entire life. I am old enough to remember when American politicians didn’t trust the Russians and Communists. I guess the only Commie Little Marco hated was Fidel. Apparently, all of them are head over heels in love with Pootie Poot now.
Love the Pottie Poot. Yep Trump acts as if he idolizes Putin.
Pootie Poot should be in every campaign ad that runs against them. They own Twitler and all his policies, including allowing Pootie Poot to do whatever he pleases.
Yes, maam. You are correct.
🙂
Litttle Marco indeed. Shameful. Can you flood his offices with calls? Or is his mind made up?
Apples, his mind was made off before he stamped his little high-heeled boots at the confirmation hearings. That was all for show. He does this all the time. He just wants lots of attention so he can run for prez. He’s a coward and a blowhard and a phony. I have tried to call his office, and his voicemail is always full. Just like him, his phone is a worthless piece of shit. Sorry for the profanity, but I can’t stand him. He’s one of my senators,and I cannot for the life of me understand why anyone votes for such a waste of oxygen.
Pathetic.
Yup.
