WASHINGTON—U.S. Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL) released the following statement after voting against Rex Tillerson, President Trump’s nominee for Secretary of State:
Election Day 2016 is a day that will live in cyber infamy—the result of a hostile foreign power intentionally attacking our democracy to influence the outcome of the presidential election. I have said repeatedly that this act of cyber warfare must not go unanswered, so I was deeply disturbed that Mr. Tillerson showed so little concern, and offered no plan to respond or hold Russia accountable. Secretary Tillerson’s close personal and business ties with President Putin give me no confidence that he would be an effective force in America’s dealings with Russia. There have even been reports that this Administration is considering dropping sanctions against Russia. There is bipartisan opposition to that idea in Congress, which will conduct vigorous oversight of the State Department.
And......
Turbin Durbin doing what Trubin Durbin does...
Provide proof for your accusations Dickhead.
Little Dick Durbin having a little hissy.
Once a Dick, always a Dick.
Liberalism is a mental illness.
A stinking sack of Durbin.
Tillerson should do a Cheney and tell Dick to go F himself.
Yeah. Because we were all waiting breathlessly for the verdict of this one-neuron brain. How does this guy remember to breathe?
Turbin needs to go to SA and get a Senator job there.
Durbin is as bad as they get. He is long past his expiration and usefulness date
Dick Durbin, your power is gone and you will never get it back.
Little dick tried to do the same thing to Sessions this morning. He needs to be gone.
Fix Chicago Turbin.
Until then, STFU, useless POS!
little dick durbin once again proves he is a lunatic.
Just another temper tantrum from Little Dick.
The next time Durban leaves the country, Tillerson should void Durbin’s passport so he can’t return.
The vote was 56 to 43 to confirm (Chris Coons, D-DE was missing). No Republicans deserted. Non-Republicans voting to confirm:
Mark Warner, VA
Heidi Heitkamp, ND
Joe Manchin III, WV
Angus King, ME
