Here’s the latest moan from the Trump-hating leftists on Twitter reacting to this news: Of course Tillerson was fired a day after he spoke out about the killing of a former KGB agent in the UK by neurotoxin. He (Tillerson) blamed the current Russian government for the killing, and since Trump is in collusion with Russia, Tillerson had to go (to keep quiet the Russian connection to that killing).
I’m sure that’s pure nonsense of course and not the real reason he was fired. But it’s not good optics, to fire him one day after calling Russia out for that hit.
Oh well, it is what it is and the lunatics desperately clinging to this Russian narrative would surely find some other “link” to this and Russia I’m sure if it weren’t for the above. Still though, sucks to constantly have to explain away these damn “connections”. Could’ve waited a couple days or weeks at least.
Waste of time. Trump could have fired him next month and they would have the same stories:
“Only a month ago Rex Tillerson called out Russia. Now, he’s out.”
“Trump cleans house for Putin: pro-American voices gone from cabinet in ‘soft coup’”
