Pelosi: Tillerson Not Suited for ‘Revered Position’ of Secretary of State

Posted on 12/13/2016 12:30:52 PM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Tuesday on MSNBC’s “Andrea Mitchell Reports,” while discussing President-elect Donald Trump naming ExxonMobil CEO Rex Tillerson as his secretary of state, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said, “With all due respect to the president’s nominee, perhaps he’s suitable for something else,” adding that secretary of state was “a revered position.”

Pelosi said, “First of all, let’s — what is the job? The job — the secretary of state is really in line to succession to the president of the United States … Well, by sequence, they are, but that’s the primary one and has special status. So the secretary of state is the person who should be recognized as a person who is a leader in terms of our security, our values, and our interests. In terms of the president-elect’s nomination, the coziness with Vladimir Putin is very alarming and should have eliminated him, frankly. Right now, his approach to the sanctions on Russia, because of their aggression in Europe, should be enough to say, perhaps another relationship with the administration, but not secretary of state.”

He just can’t sell the country out the way that his predecessors did. He’s just not up to it.

Good pick as proven by the hysterical reaction from the left.

The Speaker is in line too. But when Pelosi was Speaker, she was outraged by a question regarding the Constitutionality of Obamacare.

I would like to see ALL the democrats, except like five vote the guy down, and McCain, McConnell, Rubio and Graham join them to vote the guy down, with him finally passing. Then the gloves come off with these guys. Trump owes them nothing.

I think Trump will have better chance with democrats than with these idiots.

This woman is a dimwit. It’s sickening to hear her criticize someone who has obviously accomplished much in his life.

OK, Nancy. Just go ahead then and run for Senate and then vote against his confirmation. Until then, shut up.

Laughable.
