Why Does Rex Tillerson Want Affirmative Action for Ambassadors?
The Weekly Standard ^ | 9/5/2017 | Terry Eastland

Posted on 09/05/2017 6:30:01 AM PDT by Governor Dinwiddie

Secretary of State Rex Tillerson was so disturbed by the clash of protesters in Charlottesville that he made a policy decision he may have to reverse: In a speech at the State Department on August 19, he repudiated hatred and racism before addressing what he called “a great diversity gap” in employment and ambassadorships.

He did not say how many of this or that diversity group the department needed among its employees or ambassadors to be sufficiently diverse. Tillerson’s point was simply that there must be more.

How to get more? Tillerson said there would be changes in the process used to recruit and hire employees and choose ambassadorships. The most important of those changes concerns ambassador selection.

The Pink Mafia controls the Embassies and State Department.

Brilliant idea to send queers to Muslim countries. Didn’t work out so well.

"Tillerson is a Kool-Aid drinker."

Tillerson is snoring the Kool-Aid right out of the package.

Rex, McMaster, Cohn, Powell, Jared, Ivanka. Every one of these people is a liberal who’d fit in perfectly with a Hillary Administration.

Globalist Corporate animal. This is his world view and how he grew up in a social justice compliant corporate world enforced by lawyers and HR compliance nazis. Trump hired him for his negotiating skills. He got more than he bargained for.

Yep, he went to the foggy bottom and those Ivy League pukes have corrupted him. The US State Department needs a new name because they represent everyone but the American people.
