Tillerson: This Was Not My ‘First Sword Dance’

‘I’ve been in the Middle East for many, many years’

EXCERPT:

WALLACE: Finally, sir, we all got to see — I don’t know that you’ve gotten a chance to see it — but we all got to see the video yesterday of you participating in that traditional Arab sword dance. And I have to tell you, you look pretty good while you were doing it. Frankly, more comfortable than the president or Commerce Secretary Ross.

Had you been practicing, sir?

TILLERSON: Well, I hadn’t been practicing, Chris, but it was not my first sword dance.
