Sen. Marco Rubio suggested on Tuesday that he would oppose confirmation of President-elect Joe Biden's national security team, presaging the first sign of potential Senate battles to come if Republicans maintain control of the Senate.
Rubio (R-Fla.) said Bidens selections will be polite & orderly caretakers of Americas decline, criticizing their professional credentials and Washington bonafides. Rubio sits on both the Senate foreign relations and intelligence committees.
Bidens cabinet picks went to Ivy League schools, have strong resumes, attend all the right conferences & will be polite & orderly caretakers of Americas decline, he tweeted. I support American greatness. And I have no interest in returning to the normal that left us dependent on China.
In recent days Biden has announced plans to nominate Antony Blinken as secretary of State and Linda Thomas-Greenfield as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations jobs whose occupants require Senate confirmation. The president-elect has also named Jake Sullivan as his national security adviser, a White House role on which the Senate has no say.

(53,072 posts)Because that is what we have now. It's singular purpose is to ensure that America can never emerge from decline.
Rubio is a hypocrite, like the rest of the cowardly GOP.

(7,234 posts)He actually thinks we stopped being dependent on China? Does he think we dont owe China more than a TRILLON DOLLARS?
To think this weasel was once a serious candidate for president.

None of which could be applied to anyone in the chump maladministration.
Since Biden and Harris were elected, the whole world breathed a sigh of relief. I'm grateful that their leaders have welcomed our new ones back to civilization.
