That’s one take on it. But trying to climb up on a make believe podium of “non partisan” to scold everyone as being partisan, doesn’t make that take correct.
Here is another take on the situation…Tillerson was fighting to maintain his job as Sec of State at a time where he is every action was actively being undermined by others in the Administration…despite him attempting to appease Trump by gutting his own department.
Kelly’s big grip was always that Trump was disorganized and didn’t know how to run the government efficiently; he didn’t have much heartburn over what Trump was trying to do, just that he wasn’t very good at getting it done, and Kelly wanted to improve that. And of course, it should be mentioned that Kelly saw himself as the ultimate puppet master when he got tagged to be CoS.
The principals in both are highly questionable; Tillerson wasn’t looking out for the best interests of the country when he started gutting the State department and chasing off career foreign officers. Kelly wasn’t looking out for the best interests of the country during his time at DHS, nor during his time as CoS, where he opposed literally no Trump policy of any significance. Trying to paint them both as noble people flies in the face of the actual evidence.
And I do find it quite humorous, that after lecturing us on how ethical two old white men are, without providing any evidence, you immediately slam the brown woman for being an “unscrupulous opportunist”. Not that I don’t think she is opportunistic, but there is no evidence that she acted any worse than either Tillerson or Kelly (and arguments can be made that both of acted quite a bit more unethically).
