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.”

No better test than the hissy fits from gutter scum like Pelousi . . .
Very stupid remark by a very stupid person.
Yeah, but you're forgetting that John Kerry (who served in Viet Nam) is a close personal friend of James Taylor.
Is this the man that had a large hand in Don’t ask don’t tell, and the morally repugnants in the boy scout? I agree if that was him. If this guy is tied to an eeeeevil oil company, than he is GOOD.
If the position of Secretary of State was ever revered-allowing Hillary Clinton and then John F’in Kerry to have the job trashed that-all that botox in Nancy’s face has gotten into her brain...
Doesn’t matter what you think, Nancy, you don’t get any say-so in the matter, AT ALL...............
Or Madam Halfbright................
Who cares what this demented idiot says?
Wait. Pelosi says he’s not suited?
That’s a world-class recommendation. Way to go, Trump.
“the coziness with Vladimir Putin is very alarming”
Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

Then U.S. policy can magically track donations to the TGI. Would he then be suited for the 'revered position?'
Says the woman who is nuttier than squirrel poop!
Tell me again how Clinton and Kerry did in that position. Ws the world safer, was our consulates, and buildings safer, and is the Middle East much safer now?
Pelosi , lets be honest here. You and the aging left over 60’s remains in your party will always oppose Trump, and because of that attitude of helping yourselves and not the country is why you lost and got smashed to bits.
Hey Pelosi - we’ve got to confirm him to see how he does. Just like that “we’ve got to pass it to see whats in it” obamacare bill the dems passed without a single Republican vote.
Garbage can? She’s perfectly qualified. She’s a bum.
Wow thus spoke Nancy “Goat Hill Pizza” Pelosi.
more like “condiment position” with the Ketchup King as SOS now.
A key part of the SoS job is to make friends for America.
We might need Putin’s help, so it is good that Trump’s nominee is considered a friend by Putin.
It used to be revered. That was a couple of secretaries ago.
