McCain: Tillerson’s tied to Putin ‘a matter of concern’
John McCain is no fan of Trump or his Secretary of State pick.
Click here for reuse options!“I don’t know what Mr. Tillerson’s relationship with Vladimir Putin was, but I’ll tell you it is a matter of concern to me,” McCain said in an interview with Fox News.NBC News reported earlier on Saturday that President-elect Donald Trump had settled on Tillerson to head the State Department, though the transition team has not confirmed the report.
McCain is the first Republican to raise questions about the potential nomination, and Tillerson could fail to make it through the confirmation process if just three GOP senators join a united Democratic opposition.
“I’d have to examine it,” McCain said of the potential nomination. “You want to give the president of the United States the benefit of the doubt because the people have spoken. But Vladimir Putin is a thug, bully and a murderer, and anybody else who describes him as anything else is lying.”

“A matter of concern?” Thank you, Captain Obvious. Or should I say Senator Obvious?

But Putin and Trump are buddies, and both are honest and noble men

McCain – a man of conviction! Well, at least until the wind changes.

Isn’t it amazing that he’s been making the worst possible choice for every agency so far? It’s like some evil plan.
