If you want to understand who the Democrats really are, it's important to take a look at the statements made by Democrat House leader Nancy Pelosi regarding Rex Tillerson.
In 2016, when Trump nominated Tillerson as Secretary of State, Pelosi issued a statement which said, in part, the following:
"Choosing an oil executive friendly with Vladimir Putin as Secretary of State sends a disturbing signal about President-elect Trump's priorities. Rex Tillerson's cozy relationship with the Kremlin is especially alarming in light of his attitude towards sanctions over Russia's aggressive behavior in Europe, while at the same time the President-elect continues to side with Russia over the judgment of the US intelligence community."
Today, when Trump fired Tillerson, Pelosi said this:
"Secretary Tillerson's firing sets a profoundly disturbing precedent in which standing up for our allies against Russian aggression is grounds for a humiliating dismissal. President Trump's actions show that every official in his Administration is at the mercy of his personal whims and his worship of Putin."
Think about that. When Tillerson is nominated, Pelosi says he is a Russian pawn, a tool of Vladimir Putin. 15 months later, when Tillerson is fired, Pelosi does a complete about-face and says that Tillerson stood up against Putin and that's why he was fired. Of course, Pelosi makes no attempt to square the two statements. Tillerson is either a Russian stooge or a valiant public servant standing up to the Russians. For Pelosi and the Democrats, the truth doesn't matter; they just want something with which to bash President Trump. They also want to keep spreading the lie that there is any sort of tie between Trump and Putin.
It's disgusting.
