"I think Secretary Tillerson, Secretary Mattis, and Chief of Staff Kelly are those people that help separate our country from chaos, and I support them very much," the Republican chairman of the Senate foreign relations committee told reporters Wednesday on Capitol Hill.
When asked about the relationship between President Donald Trump and Tillerson, which is reportedly on thin ice, Corker suggested that the secretary of state doesn't have the support he needs from the President.
"I mean, look, I see what's happening here," Corker said. "I deal with people throughout the administration and (Tillerson), from my perspective, is in an incredibly frustrating place, where, as I watch, OK, and I can watch very closely on many occasions, I mean you know, he ends up being not being supported in the way I would hope a secretary of state would be supported, that's just from my vantage point."

(7,432 posts)They're getting beaten into submission by this evil monster, and they'll do nothing to stop it. They can feel the pounding of the feet of Nazi fascists through the ground, and they're frozen in fear. They fear the rise of the far right, and they know that the far right is after them if they oppose Trumpy.
So we're seeing the GOP, as a party, turn coward. They're frightened wimps who shudder at the thought of defending their moral obligation to put country before party.
The death knell of the GOP can be heard everywhere. The fascists are coming for all of them. Either you join them or you'll be crushed. That's the message. Bannon and his crew of Russia-supported fascists are obsessed with power, and they're being given a wink and a nod by Trumpy.
