Senator Mark Warner (D-VA) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s “kowtowing” to President Donald Trump had been disappointing.
Host Jake Tapper said, “Is Secretary Rubio able to do the two main jobs there?”
Warner said, “I don’t know how anybody could do these two big jobs, and they’re frankly very different. One is actually trying to diplomatically work with friends and adversaries around the world. And unfortunately, the number of adversaries has gone up dramatically as Trump’s approach has been so awful to our allies. The other are our national security adviser has really grown into a major job, maybe slimming down some of that portfolio could make sense, but I don’t see how any individual could do both of those. And then you add the other fact, Jake, that he’s still overseeing the remnants of what used to be American soft power for 70 years, USAID, and even for Marco Rubio, I think it’s too much.”

Thank you very much and God bless you.
Warner is the disappointment.
I don’t care about Margaret but as a genealogist I hope the National Archives remain accessible.
As far as I see it, Rubio is doing excellent job!
President Trump has many times more responsibilities than Rubio, and he’s doing quite well. Rubio has big responsibilities, but he’s not complaining. Warner for certain would not be able to multi-task as well as Rubio or Trump.
Warner doesnt know how he can do the work he is doing? The work of the people and his dedication to his President? Im shocked.
These mfers are so freaking stupid! Of course he’s kowtowing to Trump. That’s his job. Foreign policy and national security are the president’s purview. It’s up to SOS and NSA to carry out those policies. SMH.
Yes, it’s been a pleasant surprise,
Trump put forth a One Voice agenda early on, and Rubio, a former Swamp Senator, has done an excellent job indeed of not being a Swamp Senator with their own voice and agenda while in President Trump’s One Voice Administration..
So far :)
It’s called “working for someone”. It’s what you do if you want that job. Not brown-nosing.
Blinkin never kowtowed to Biden or Hillary to Obama. They acted independently as Secretary of State. /s
warner has the sads that
rubio left the swamp
“As far as I see it, Rubio is doing excellent job!”
Agree — surprisingly.
Judging by his actions and statements so far, he might be an excellent candidate for POTUS in 2028 if Vance disappoints in some way(s). For now, I’m 100% Vance, and appreciate that Don Jr. and Bongino strongly pushed PDJT to select him.
It totally escapes this Warner fella that his head was up Joe Biden’s petard the whole 4 illegitimate years.
Like a typical democrat, when they do it, it is okay and justified.
He has obviously never understood employer/ee relationship.
“yeah, I hear you objections. But, now do what I said or get out.”
“ And unfortunately, the number of adversaries has gone up dramatically as Trump’s approach has been so awful to our allies.”
This dipstick doesn’t realize that they were our adversaries before Trump. They were just polite since they were on the winning side of everything. Actually, he does realize it but that’s not what the talking points tell him to say.
It appears the attacks on Hegseth were failing so they had to try another target. Watch Little Marco take a beating this week.
EC
Why is a Democrat’s willingness to publicly take shots at President Trump still considered newsworthy? Haven’t we heard everything they have to say? I am switching off the mainstream news.
Yeah because everyone knows that when you hired to do a job the expectation is for you to do whatever you want and ignore everything your boss says.
Pretty racist statement
“As far as I see it, Rubio is doing excellent job!”
Far-far better than Warner has demonstrated since 2002 as governor then senator from Virginia.
