MSNBC: NBC Reports Tillerson’s Fury at Trump Required an Intervention from Pence

‘He was on the verge of walking away from his post over the summer, only to be talked out of it by vice-president Pence and generals Kelly and Mattis’

EXCERPT:

BRZEZINSKI: “All of this brings us to another of Trump’s cabinet secretaries who, like Mattis, has increasingly been at odds with the President. But unlike Tom Price, General Kelly stepped apparently in to make sure he did not leave. We are talking about Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson. In a blockbuster, brand-new exclusive report from NBC News, we are learning that he was on the verge of walking away from his post over the summer, only to be talked out of it by Vice President Pence and generals Kelly and Mattis. Tensions came to a head around the time that President Trump delivered that politicized speech in late July to the Boy Scouts of America, an organization where Tillerson once served as its president."
