Scarborough: Is Tillerson Dumb or Is He a Lackey for Trump?

‘There is nobody in South Korea to talk to, foreign leaders don’t know who to call when there is a crisis’

EXCERPT:

SCARBOROUGH: "Tell -- tell me something, is Rex Tillerson stupid? I mean, he -- he was the CEO of Exxon, I -- I thought he was James Baker’s friend, I thought he knew -- I thought he was --"
BRZEZINSKI: "We hope."
SCARBOROUGH: "Condi Rice and others had -- had recommended him. Is he stupid? Because I -- I've never, I -- you can go back ten years on this show, I've never asked that question of anybody holding a position like that, at least on this show. But -- but is he stupid? Because anybody that’s been in Washington for more than a day knows he is wrong. It is disastrous that -- that the State Department's being gutted, that we don’t have ambassadors across the globe, that there is nobody in South Korea to talk to, that foreign leaders don’t know who to call when there is a crisis. Is Rex Tillerson dumb or is he a lackey for Donald Trump? Because, guess what? I’m running out of third options for this man."
