"I and several of my colleagues have concerns about Mr. Tillerson, and some of his past activities, specifically his relationship with Vladimir Putin," said McCain, who chairs the Senate Armed Services Committee.
.
.
.
Tillerson is facing a potentially tough confirmation process as nearly all 46 Senate Democrats, along with Sens. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and Angus King, I-Maine, are expected to oppose him. .
.
.
McCain along with Sen. Lindsey Graham is in the midst of a tour of the Baltic States, where the two have been vocal proponents of the Senate holding hearings about Russian involvement in November's election.

McCain has long been famous for his to and fro about ‘questioning someone’s patriotism’....a pseudo-debate about nothing that fools some people into thinking he wants to have a substantial discussion about anything.
It’s funny to see someone who is obviously having his strings pulled do his grim-faced routine once again. Is anyone, Democrat or Republican, fooled by it?

Well hell. What did you expect? He tossed the Election in 2008 so Obama could walk in, and supported nearly every Obama initiative (save Obamacare).

I have concerns about John McCain's pro Communist brainwashing when he was in then North Vietnam. He sides with the neo Communist Democrats (or just plain Commie Democrats) because the Hanoi Hilton and other places convinced him of Socialism's superiority.
