Rex Tillerson Reads Goodbye Statement

Binned Secretary of State Rex Tillerson just read a brief statement, taking no questions before he disappeared into the sunset or wherever he's headed. It was a completely bland statement about the transition and the good people at State and how proud he's been to serve etc. — unsettlingly anodyne, given the fact that Tillerson found out he was fired when Donald Trump tweeted it this morning. For a guy who should be unfathomably angry, he instead sounded...nervous.

Tillerson sounds really shaky. He doesn't sound angry to my ears; he sounds freaked out.

Welp, buh-bye, Rex Tillerson. You were definitely very terrible and still somehow not even close to being the most terrible person in this administration.

What a fucking day.
