MSNBC’s Jeremy Bash Rips Trump Over Tillerson Firing: ‘Weak,’ ‘Gutless,’ ‘Wimp’
RUSH EXCERPT:
BASH: "That’s right. I think we may be at peak talent here for the trump Administration. I think once some individuals leave like Secretary Tillerson, despite the disagreements that the president may have had with him on foreign policy, you’re not going to get someone, obviously, you’re going to have Pompeo, you’re not going to get someone to backfill all these positions including the national security adviser who are at the caliber that really a president of the United States needs to advise on the most complex national security decisions out there. I just want to go back to this point about the manner in which tillerson was fired. I think we’re talking about it’s mean, it’s embarrassing, it’s actually just weak. It’s like gutless. It’s a whimp — only a whimp does that, someone who doesn’t want to face the consequences of telling someone directly, hey, this isn’t working out, I want to make a change. I want to say our president of the United States is transmitting absolute weakness to everybody around the world. And for someone who, you know, thinks of himself as a strongman, he’s sending exactly the wrong message."
