The late Sen. John McCain's, R-Ariz.,remarks in 2014 warning that now-Secretary of State Antony Blinken is "dangerous to America" resurfaced online amid the botched Afghanistan withdrawal.
The senator's comments come from his opposition speech against Blinken’s previous nomination to be deputy secretary of state under former President Barack Obama.
"I rise to discuss my opposition to the pending vote concerning Mr. Antony ‘Tony’ Blinken, who is not only unqualified but, in fact, in my view, one of the worst selections of a very bad lot that this president has chosen," McCain excoriated Blinken, who was eventually confirmed to the post in 2015.

Seriously. How bad do you have to be that it’s obvious even to last-in-his-class-at-Annapolis John McCain???
That’s pretty impressive. Blinken is a total nobody, way in over his head, and apparently he’s been known for this all along. I’d forgotten that Obama had tried to make him SOS years ago.
The Biden admin is stuffed with Obama’s unqualified losers, including Biden himself.
McCain was dangerous to America.
I think next year’s Stanley Cup Finals will be held in Hell.
Is MSN trying to make Blinken seem more acceptable with this story?
McCain was so bad, I’d have to toss this comment as being
suspect.
He ranks right up there with Jane Fonda and John Kerry > IMO.
He was merciless to the families of the men MIA, on behalf
of Vietnam.
I had written the guy off long before that, but that
exemplified his treacherous ego and flawed policy judgement.
Maybe sorta like “Enemy of my Enemy is my Friend.” If Republicans despise Blinken, he must be o.k. In “Progressives” eyes.
Juan got something right?
There it is; the “R” word; RANSOM.
Of course, Biden will take the bait and offer to pay it.
If he does, don’t be surprised if the ransom suddenly goes much, much higher, since the Taliban will know they have a Sucker on a short leash.

First time ever I agree with Juan.
Pot meet kettle.
Remember Juan created Isis with Hillary and Brack.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken is "dangerous to America"He's there as a result of Biden. Biden is there as a result of Fox News silence on election fraud.
It all boils down to Fox News pretending to be patriots is the real danger to America. If it wasn't for them Blinken might not be there.
That assessment of Blinken was the only hit that McCain had in over 1,000 at bats. His destruction of aircraft was a different story. I believe it was three for three.
Amazing when a low achiever recognizes another low achiever!
McCain showed his weak colors early in the game and finished strong in the “being wrong” category.
