The moral of what's happening at State is that despite a 99-0 Senate confirmation vote, Secretary Rubio does not have the clout or character to resist pressure to hire racist crackpots for top jobs.

Rubio has agency. He is responsible for choosing whom he places on staff, or resigning if he does not agree. That makes Rubio complicit in the white supremist policies his Deparment implements.
the better question would be why on earth would all the D Senators vote YES on Rubio, period - have they not listened to him equivocate on multiple issues the past 8yrs? did they forget he participated in contesting 6Jan2020 EV count?
That’s bc our “leaders” figured he’s the “least risky nominee” vs ALL THE REST OF THE TRASH! Our leaders should be ashamed of themselves! They’re ALL FIRED!
He probably doesn’t even have enough clout or character to resign. He’ll leave when he’s fired, not before. The only question is whether it’ll be Trump or Musk that fires him.
Like others before him, this is a move to punish Rubio. Soon Lil Marco will be fired by tweet and the extremist misogynist sycophant who knows less than Marco will be in charge.
The number one qualification for any cabinet member is willingness to do WHATEVER Trump wants. Despite Rubio's experience and knowledge, he is proving to be no exception. Personally, I never thought he would buck Trump.
Flooding in the zone was s*** is what caused the 99-0 vote in any normal circumstances there would have been people upset that little Marco was going to be in control
Senator Rubio has been a fraud for a long time! Remember his bs story about his parents fleeing from revolutionary Cuba? It turned out they left even prior to Castro’s drive for power. It’s been downhill for “Little Marco” ever since!
He also doesn’t have the inclination to not do that. Let’s stop pretending any of these people are hostages and not enthusiastic coconspirators shall we?
Whatever... Right now, in real time, Musk has YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY INFORMATION. And everyone's... Rubio, MAGA, blaming Schumer, crying over Palestine, etc, DOESN'T MATTER. They kicked NBC and NPR out of the Pentagon, and a coup is happening right in front of you. WRITE ABOUT THAT!

Rubio is a racist crackpot.
He would, and did. Nothing more needs saying, really.
Once, an up and coming GOP star.
Now, a spineless hack enabler.
Maga doesn't redeem the previous Republican dumpster fire...
I think the old guard just doesn't get it. Reagan made bush possible and bush made trump possible. The Rs own this from beginning to end
Game of Thrones watchers will get the reference.
Yet 99 people confirmed him pro forma
Democrats traded principal for faux power long ago
