Rex Tillerson has all but vanished from the State Department’s website as his unceremonious firing by tweet took effect over the weekend.

The “Secretary of State Tillerson” link at the top of the department’s homepage (www.state.gov) disappeared overnight Saturday and was replaced with a generic “Secretary of State” tab.

When clicked, it leads to a page that informs visitors in a brief statement that Deputy Secretary of State John Sullivan “became acting Secretary of State on April 1, 2018.” It shows a photo of Sullivan signing his appointment papers as deputy in June 2017 but offers no explanation for the change in leadership. …

Only the AP grabbing at straws, as usual. They admit further down that all of the info about Tillerson was put back.

Pretty routine. I was at 11 different Commands over the years and I bet you could go to everyone and my name would be gone from history. I think Rex things he is more important then he is.

As it should be as he’s no longer a member of the State Department.

Everyone knows why Rex was canned - besides, if they gave a "reason" it would be 7 seconds later that Mueller had someone trying to see if they could debunk the stated reason and try to get Trump for covering up something....

What the heck does the AP expect? For Trump to post a web page enumerating his issues with Rex?

More fake news.
