Wednesday, Sen. Bob Corker (R-TN) was asked about the NBC News report that Secretary State Rex Tillerson had considered resigning.
Corker said, “I think Secretary Tillerson, Secretary [James] Mattis and chief of staff [John] Kelly are those people that help separate our country from chaos. I support them very much.”
When asked if he meant from the president’s chaos, Corker said, “It’s just they act in a very—they work very well together to make sure that the policies we put forth around the world are sound and coherent.
