It’s troubling that Donald Trump’s reaction to Tillerson’s support of a close American ally facing threats from Russia was to fire him
Rather than taking serious steps to ensure stability or fill our diplomatic corps, once again Donald Trump has chosen chaos over the kind of leadership the American people desperately need and deserve
Trump’s new nominee to be Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, has not expressed any moral opposition to torture. His nominee to be @CIA Director, Gina Haspel, has done much worse (incl directly supervising the torture of detainees & helping destroy video evidence of those abuses)
Who we confirm for these posts will send a message to the rest of the world on America’s commitment, or lack thereof, to condemning torture & promoting human rights
Supporting torture should disqualify people from having the privilege of serving the American people in government ever again, but apparently Donald Trump thinks it merits promotion. I couldn’t disagree more
