发帖数: 61690 | 1 Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) blasted Rex Tillerson’s performance at his
confirmation hearing Wednesday, telling the secretary of State nominee as
the hearing wound down that he had not answered several of Rubio’s
questions to his standards.
“In order to have moral clarity, we need clarity,” Rubio said. “We can’t
achieve moral clarity with rhetorical ambiguity."
Rubio asked Tillerson about a range of topics on Wednesday, trying to get
his opinions on, among other things, Vladimir Putin, China, human rights
violations in the Philippines and Saudi Arabia.
But as the day wound down, Rubio said he didn’t get the answers he wanted.
“Today, I’ve been unable to get you to acknowledge that the attacks on
Aleppo were conducted by Russia,” he said.
“Somehow you are unaware of what is happening in the Philippines, that you
are not prepared to label what’s happening in China and Saudi Arabia, a
country that, my understanding is, you are very familiar of.”
Rubio’s support is critical for Tillerson. Republicans hold a one-seat edge
in the Foreign Affairs Committee and President-elect Donald Trump needs his
vote there to get Tillerson’s nomination to the floor without invoking
special Senate procedure.
If Tillerson makes it to the floor and Democrats unite against him, the GOP
can only afford to lose three votes in order to send the former ExxonMobil
chief to Foggy Bottom. If Rubio votes against him either in committee or on
the floor, it will a roadblock to his confirmation.
Rubio did not signal how he will eventually vote on Tillerson’s nomination,
but he said Wednesday he has high standards for any eventual secretary of
State.
“I have no questions about your character, your patriotism. You don’t need
this job, you didn’t campaign for this job,” he told Tillerson. “But I
also told you when we met that the position you have been nominated to is,
in my opinion, the second most important position in the U.S. government.”
Rubio added, “You gave the need for a lot more information in order to
comment on some of these. I understand that, this is a big world and there’
s a lot of topics; these are not obscure areas.” | m********g

voice heard given the opportunity. We should just respond by ignoring his
voice.
