Florida Republican Sen. Marco Rubio announced Monday he will vote to confirm former Exxon CEO Rex Tillerson as Secretary of State, providing Tillerson with a critical vote to get him through the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
“I believe the president is entitled to significant deference when it comes to his choices for the cabinet,” Rubio wrote in a Facebook post. “I also believe given the uncertainty surrounding the future direction of our foreign policy that a higher degree of scrutiny is justified in evaluating whoever is nominated to serve as secretary of state.”
Rubio said he remained “concerned” about the U.S. defending democracy and human rights, adding he worried that under Trump, the U.S. “will pursue a foreign policy that too often sets aside our values and our historic alliances in pursuit of flawed geopolitical deals.”
“But in making my decision on his nomination, I must balance these concerns with his extensive experience and success in international commerce, and my belief that the president is entitled to significant deference when it comes to his choices for the cabinet,” he said.

Rubio has been wrong on everything since he got to Washington. Amnesty, arming jihadists, etc.
Rubio don’t amount to a pimple on tillerson’s butt
Fine, we can move on now.
If Rubio were mugged by MS13, I would not be upset.
Hey, Mario! What color are the boards on the backside of the woodshed?
Little Marco is not relevant. Even he must realize that at this point.
If McCain, Graham, and the rest are for him, I can’t help but woinder what’s wrong with him.
Fredo gets the double cheek kiss from Trump. :-)
Did Marco find some clearer foam party photos in the mail?
Rubio was conservative until he got to the Senate and near the rinos. Makes one wonder what stupid thing he did in Washington or if he was just naturally weak.
Foam partee on! ...
