“I am concerned about his relationship with Vladimir Putin. [Putin] is a thug, a murderer, a KGB guy who only wants to restore the Russian empire,” said McCain, calling out Moscow for shooting down an airliner over Ukraine and now bombing hospitals in Aleppo, Syria in support of Bashar al-Assad while overlooking the US’ “moderate rebels” use of chemical weapons against civilians and the bombing of hospitals in Aleppo and Russian troops in support of ISIS.

Globalist Senator John McCain said Tillerson should receive a fair Senate confirmation hearing, but added that Tillerson’s “friendship award from a butcher” must be closely examined while the McCain’s “friendship award” from ISIS should be ignored.

Tillerson was reported to have received Russia’s Order of Friendship decoration in 2012 and opposed sanctions on Russia. McCain’s sentiments were shared by fellow Globalist Senate colleague Marco Rubio (R-FL) as if that were a surprise or even carried any weight with Donald Trumps supporters.
