White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders on Thursday said that Secretary of State Rex Tillerson should be “just fine” to do his job, despite reports that the White House plans to oust him.

“The secretary of state’s a pretty tough guy. I think he’ll be just fine carrying his job out,” Sanders said at her daily press briefing.

The New York Times reported Thursday morning that the White House has developed a plan to replace Tillerson with with current CIA Director Mike Pompeo, and to replace Pompeo with Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR).

“As we’ve said many times before, as many of you love to write these type of stories, when the President loses confidence in someone, they will no longer serve in the capacity that they’re in,” Sanders added.

1. Carrying his job out???

With "out" being the operative word. Freudian slip much, Hucksterbee?

These people have no. credibility. whatsoever.

2. Huckleberry just pooh-poohed Rex's leaving......

he'd better have his bags packed and the motor running - he's toast.

3. don't worry, putin hasn't said he should go...

so trump won't get rid of him. what vlad says goes.

he may want to, but he won't. rex is a personal friend of vlad's and is far too useful right now while still dismantling state. When he is done with state, he and pompano can change jobs. vlad would like that.

4. The orange shitgibbon doesn't suffer being called a fucking moron lightly.

Tillerson should be hapy to merely be ousted, if Dolt45 could do what he wanted Ol' Rex would be getting a Polonium enema.
