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

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.”

I suppose Nancypants is referring to the revered position that is currently occupied by a traitor and was formerly occupied by a corrupt criminal.

We have to appoint him in order to see how he'll do.

Sound familiar, hag?

"the coziness with Vladimir Putin is very alarming"

Pretty laughable, coming from a communist.

Revered? Bit@h please! He is coming from decades of experience in a 349 billion dollar global organization to one with a budget of 65 billion.
He likely knows every significant world leader on a first name basis, and knows their internal politics inside and out.
He has had to deal with a waterfall of US government BS in order to survive and knows it well.

Its shameless and embarrassing that someone of such low quality is evaluating HIS qualifications. This is a major step down for him and likely him just doing his civic duty as the founders envisioned.

Not surprised.

Revered? Maybe at one time, but not since Hitlery and Lurch sullied it.

The “Secretary of State” has been a do-nothing, PC position since the time of Maddie Albright. It's long past time to restore the position to its level of greatness.

Exactly - She can rant all she wants, but she has no say, so shut up and stop making the uninformed think you have a say because you opened your trap.

If John Kerrey (who served in Viet Nam) held the post, it is not revered.

She might be qualified as third shift assistant washroom attendant. She’d have to pass a six-week probationary period to see if she’s qualified.

Then she can be issued gloves and a brush.

FOAD = _____ Off And Die

The political elites have nothing for contempt for anyone not part of their club. They really believe they are superior to those who work for a living. I think the pick is brilliant, just because he will be hated sooooo much by the left and the media......and has the sack not to give a damn.
