Tuesday evening on the radio, Conservative Review Editor-in-Chief Mark Levin addressed the announcement that Exxon-Mobil CEO Rex Tillerson is President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for secretary of state.
Levin said that the choice of Rex Tillerson ranks among the “worst” of Trump’s Cabinet picks.
Rex Tillerson: Trump’s most disastrous pick – The Conservative Conscience Ep77 Listen:
Tillerson has close ties to members of the ruling class establishment. His nomination was praised by the likes of Condoleezza Rice, Robert Gates, and James Baker — luminaries of the Bush administration and, in the case of Rice and Gates, lobbyists for Exxon-Mobil. Additionally, his close relationship with Vladimir Putin is a major cause for concern.
Fundamentally, Tillerson is the wrong man for the wrong job at the wrong time. As Levin read from Conservative Review Senior Editor Daniel Horowitz’s piece today:
Trump should have appointed a secretary of State who regards the current State Department with as much disdain as Scott Pruitt regards the EPA. The problem we have at the State Department is not a management crisis. We have a moral and intellectual problem with the State Department that has persisted for decades. It stems from a deep-rooted culture of moral relativism and an “America-last” mindset. As such, we needed a man with a strong ideological rudder who understands the issues, is on the right side of them, and willing to bust up the entire State Department structure and the global foreign policy apparatus.

Levin IS a major jackass
My Dad was a regular listener for many years and would send me links to Levin articles.
Dad had opted out of regular listening to Mark Levine by midelection season. I have always found ML too loud.
Thanks. He doesn’t seem to be any worse than any other Secretary of State in my lifetime. Of course I usually consider the state department to be an enemy run agency.
I don’t listen to this ratbag, but I just got a call from someone who is listening to him who said he just now admitted he despises Trump. I asked her why she still listens to the creep. It’s more fun to not listen to him and read about his idiocy here.
Why is that? I'm sure Exxon would benefit from a US-controlled Syria, just like they do in Iraq.
If that employer was Exxon, yes.
Yes, I've long suspected that only criminals and pathological liars are qualified for government positions.
If you haven’t worked for Exxon for 15 yrs then no. Funny how you can work inside the swamp your entire life and your are pure.
So intolerant. Very liberal of you.
Good one. Let’s see if Trump can drain the swamp.
The Founders thought that Government service was something to be done in a short season between farming work. Government has grown into a bloated tic.
No but apparently to many GS controled Cruz via his wife so I just applied the same thinking here. x2 with Cohn.
I guess we can throw out the Dem donor thing and the fact that he will get confirmed not because of his creds but because Schumer likes him.
Per #205
“He is a neocon who pretends to live the constitution”
Thank you Nifster! Someone had to say it! He uses the “Constitution” as a weapon to defend his neocon stances!
He is a bought and paid for Globalist stooge!
Keep waving that Constitution around, Mark. Apparently some still fall for your scam.
Good little Parrot. Keep reguitating your half understood slogans and knee jerk dogmas.
I have to laugh that YOU think you are “an independent thinker” because you can mindless parrot the dogmas screamed at you by your talk radio god.
Keep waving that Constitution around.

Is this a problem for you??? It should *not* be a surprise to you that conservatives believe we should abide by the founding documents as written.
As do I, but I don’t use it as a platform to validate my views.
I am referring to Mark Levin and his constant use of the “Constitution” to claim his credibility. He uses it as a validation for his rants.
Funny, the great Constitutionalist didn’t find Cruz’s birth a problem when it was clear that Cruz did not qualify for POTUS. Neither did Marco or Jindal. The great Constitutionalist would not acknowledge those lack of qualifications and credentials per the Constitution.
Cruz’s parents were registered to vote in Canada-a citizens only participation requirement. His mother used Canadian Health Care-a citizens only entitlement.
Then Ted seals the immigration records for himself and his parents. Why? Mark did not address it.
The man is a sad joke.
