Some over at the American Sp-ectatot want to know what is going on with Marco Rubio,why the hell is he grilling Rex Tillerson.Even Tillerson had to remind the banda de los ocho Senator that they were on the same side.So sad to see especially since he could be so much more.
Rubio appears to have been co-opted by the rino wing.

//spectator.org/what-is-rubio-up-to/

Watching the Rex Tillerson confirmation hearings before the Senate yesterday, one thing was clear: Marco Rubio don’t much like Tillerson’s kind. As Senator Rubio listed the atrocities being perpetrated by bad actors around the world, he’d give Mr. Tillerson a steely look and ask leading questions:

Is Mr. Putin is a war criminal?

Do you sanction human rights abuses in Saudi Arabia?

Will you redo a blockade in Cuba?

At a certain point, Mr. Tillerson says,”Our interests are not different, Senator” implying that Mr. Rubio was acting like they were.

Some political commentators are musing that Mr. Rubio is attempting to extract some piece of the power pie by being tough on Tillerson–perhaps a one-on-one sit down with him and a concession on some priority and then he’ll vote to let the nomination out of committee. Maybe. His tone and demeanor were oddly personal and aggressive.

I was left to wonder if Mr. Rubio didn’t like Mr. Tillerson personally, if he didn’t like business people in the diplomatic world generally, or if he was spiteful because Mr. Tillerson was a very tangible consequence of his own loss to a man he feels is grossly ignorant of the world.

If the posturing was pure politics, it seems like stupid politics. First off, Mr. Rubio didn’t give John Vietnam Kerry this difficult of a time and one could reasonably argue that Kerry’s behavior regarding the Vietnam war was disloyal or treasonous. Second, does Mr. Rubio want to start off with the new president from a position of hostility, and who is giving him this genius advice? Third, if he sets up a purely adversarial role now, how will later concessions look to his loyal fans?

Taking Mr. Rubio literally, and assuming that he is genuinely concerned that we have a potential Secretary of State who doesn’t care about human rights, war crimes, and is a completely driven instead by profit, what did he expect Mr. Tillerson to say?

Not sure what is with Rubio. He is acting like McCain with his running one way and governing just the opposite.

Now Brennen is taking umbrage at Trump calling the release something Nazi Germany would do.

I have a friend, real nice guy, who loves MArco.

Now we all know that Rubio turned out to be a big zero although he had big ambitions.

But he is never going to go far and he damn near lost his Senate seat in Florida. There’s also some serious concerns about Rubio’s sexual leanings.

Well at least I am concerned. We got a slew of legislators playing both sides of the fence and yeah, like they demand their tax returns I want to know whether they like girls or boys.

And if they don’t want to tell me, okay. But I will keep my suspicions in that case.

So this friend got on Facebook praising Rubio all the hell over the place for “speaking truth to power”.

What? Tillerson is right now a nominee, he does not have any power.

This was all just loser Rubio trying to re-gain his lost creditability.

I told my friend off, very publicly on Facebook, that he shouldn’t allow a fondness for a candidate forever keep him defending losers.

It’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

By me Rubio showed the world his deceit and selfishness by how he acted.

I wish the real estate developer had won the GOP primary instead of Little Marco.

Why did Rubio even run for re-election, when he said he was bored with the job?

Him being part of the Gang of Eight should forever brand him an enemy of American sovereignty.

Rush could not have been more wrong when he called Rubio “a full throated conservative” during the primary season.

When Ayotte was defeated, McNuts & Grahamnesty needed the third leg for their table and Indignant Little Marco became that third leg!

"Some over at the American Spectator want to know what is going on with Marco Rubio, why the hell is he grilling Rex Tillerson...If the posturing was pure politics, it seems like stupid politics."

Rick Wilson is the puppeteer with his hand up the back of Marco Rubio.
Rick Wilson was the 4chan dupe.

The 4chan progenitor is also not just random dude.
He merely told 4chan how he'd duped Wilson.

Foam Boy had the most to gain if true; the most to lose if not.
But they got gomered. Again. Foam Boy has no intellectual center. Total lightweight.
