Arizona Sen. John McCain "sometimes" regrets his vote for Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, especially in the wake of Tillerson floating the idea that the United States has been taking the wrong approach in Syria.

McCain said on CBS Sunday said his vote in favor of Tillerson pains him on occasion, and comments Tillerson said made about the conflicting plans of the United States and Russia in Syria, which McCain saw as kowtowing to the Kremlin, are troubling.

"Sometimes I do," McCain said when asked if he regrets voting for Tillerson. "But, I'm still torn by the fact that the American people chose this president and he ought to be able to have this team."

McCain said Tillerson does not appear to believe in the same American ideals that he does and that the Republican Party stood for under President Ronald Reagan.

He said the Russians know what they're doing by backing the Syrians, and they know about Bashar Assad's more vile tactics such as using chemical weapons.....

McCain says this literally 2 days after Tillerson/Trump hired a guy from the “McCain INstitute” to run Ukraine policy? What a nasty, nasty POS John McCain is.

I oftentimes regret my vote for John McCain, but alas, it didn’t matter.

Ditto. If he had won, we would now be beginning Hillary's second term.

And looking forward to speaking (North) Korean, or Farsi, or Mandarin, or Pashtun, or something.

Hand over the plaque, Susan Collins, we have a new recipient for the “Most Worthless Republican Senator” award.

What’s extra-weird about this is that T-Rex said plainly that the US doesn’t foresee a Syria with an Assad family member at the helm. This is McCain’s position as well. I guess because it wasn’t acknowledged as McCain’s idea it is therefore automatically a bad one?

And a treasonous traitor. I wish these bastards would be held to account in this life, but at least I know that they will in the next.

“What a nasty, nasty POS John McCain is.”

I honestly can’t stand this guy. Why he calls himself a Republican is a mystery.
