This is amazing. The Washington Post reported that the secretary of state, Rex Tillerson, has a directive that nobody in the office is allowed to look him in the eye. Nobody is allowed to make eye contact with him. It\u2019s that Tillerson doesn\u2019t spend much time working, that he goes to his office and closets himself in there and does nothing but read. (Probably reports on oil drilling or some such.) But he goes in there, he shelters himself. He doesn\u2019t want to deal with the people in the State Department.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019re not allowed to make eye contact. You\u2019re not allowed to look at him. You\u2019re not allowed to interrupt him. You\u2019re not allowed to do anything. He goes in there for hours on end and just retreats from the world and from the job, and an <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/APDiploWriter\/status\/847656567180636160\" target=\"_blank\">AP reporter has come out<\/a> and said that that is BS. The AP reporter is&#8230; Matt Lee is his name. He\u2019s the beat reporter at the State Department for the last 18 years. He went on Twitter to dispute this story in the Washington Post and to lament that bad reporting is making it more difficult to get any reporting on real issues at the State Department because of this. His tweet read:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/APDiploWriter\/status\/847656567180636160\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-227759\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/650-033117-Lee-Tweet-Tillerson.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"312\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/650-033117-Lee-Tweet-Tillerson.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/650-033117-Lee-Tweet-Tillerson-300x144.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/a>&#8220;This Washington Post story is not true, and people repeating it are making it more difficult to address very real issues.&#8221; What he means is the Washington Post lies about Rex Tillerson, makes things up about him that he\u2019s insulated like a monarch &#8212; and you\u2019re not allowed to look at him and you\u2019re not allowed to touch him and you\u2019re not allowed to be in the same room with Tillerson &#8212; and the people who see that in the State Department say, &#8220;Screw that!
