GOP Senator Admits Tillerson and Generals Are The Only Thing Saving The Country From "Chaos."

SNIP..........



In a fairly stunning indictment, Republican Senator Bob Corker of Tennessee acknowledged his belief that the presence of Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, along with the Generals Mattis and Kelly, whose sole jobs now are to babysit and mollify the mentally disturbed Infant-In Chief, were the only things separating American citizens from the from the “chaos” and destructive fallout of his incompetent and incoherent Administration.

.....

Eventually, a reporter asked chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee Bob Corker if he had any special insight into what Tillerson might think of the president’s intellect.

Corker refused to address that question directly, insisting that he does not “talk about private conversations.” But the Republican senator went on to suggest that the president is an agent of chaos — and if Tillerson ever disparaged him in a moment of frustration, well, it was probably justified.

“I think secretary Tillerson, secretary Mattis, and chief of staff Kelly are those people that help separate our country from chaos,” Corker said. “And I support them very much.”

Nobody elected Secretary Tillerson, General Mattis or General Kelly to run this country. This is a shamble of an administration.

Worse yet, Senator Corker should be ashamed of himself. He has clearly stated his views on Trump's incompetence. Since he's chosen to retire, he should stand up as a party elder-- with nothing to lose-- and demand the president's resignation or demand that Congress impeach Trump. Otherwise, his comments are ineffectual.

By the way, has Trump made America great again yet?

whole to also see and admit the clear insanity. When will the media have the same courage as Corker?
A fish rots from the head so maybe more will want to avoid the stench before the fall.
