Maj. Gen. (Ret.) Paul D Eaton Statement on Appointment of Rex Tillerson to be Secretary of State

WASHINGTON, DC - The largest progressive group of veterans in America, VoteVets, is today reacting to news that Donald Trump intends to nominate ExxonMobile CEO Rex Tillerson to be Secretary of State.
 
Major General (Ret.) Paul Eaton, senior adviser to VoteVets, released the following statement:
 
"Just hours after it was revealed that Russians hacked the Democratic Party and Clinton campaign emails, to help Donald Trump, Trump has repaid his benefactor, Vladimir Putin, by nominating one of Putin's close friends Secretary of State.
 
This appointment is as outrageous as it is threatening to American security.  At a time when Russia is taking an aggressive stance, recently moving missiles to the doorstep of Eastern Europe, we are now telling our allies we very well may favor Russia over them.  Meanwhile, the Russian-backed Iranian regime should take solace, seeing the Russophiles now in charge of American foreign policy.
