WASHINGTON, D.C., November 30, 2017 (LifeSiteNews) – The Trump administration is planning to “force out” pro-abortion, pro-LGBT Secretary of State Rex Tillerson in the coming weeks, The New York Times reported this morning.
Tillerson, a former oil executive, is much more socially liberal than many others in the Trump administration. Under his leadership, the State Department has continued to push for “LGBT rights” abroad. Last week, Tillerson issued a statement for “Transgender Day of Remembrance” promising that the U.S. “remains committed to advancing the human rights and fundamental freedoms of all persons.”
Tillerson has also publicly made comments that seemed to be critical of Trump.
The New York Times report said Trump “has been said to have soured on Mr. Tillerson and in general is ready to make a change at the State Department.”
Tillerson’s rumored replacement is CIA director Mike Pompeo, and Pompeo’s rumored replacement is Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Arkansas. Cotton is strongly pro-life. He’s said he “deeply” believes Roe v. Wade was “wrongly decided” and should be overturned.
As CIA director, though, Cotton would be focused on intelligence and national security rather than life and family issues.
