WASHINGTON -
U.S.
Senator
Tim
Scott
(R-SC)
released
the
following
statement
after
voting
in
support
of
Rex
Tillerson
for
Secretary
of
State.
Tillerson
was
confirmed
by
the
Senate
56-43.
“When
your
first
recommendations
come
from
Condoleezza
Rice
and
Robert
Gates,
that’s
very
good
company.
I
believe
that
his
career
has
provided
a
strong
background
to
serve
as
U.S.
Secretary
of
State.
We
live
in
a
dangerous
world,
and
Mr.
Tillerson’s
years
of
experience
working
with
hundreds
of
nations,
their
leaders
and
major
industries
will
be
invaluable.
As
we
look
to
reinstitute
a
clear,
strong
American
foreign
policy,
I
am
pleased
to
see
Rex
Tillerson
serve
as
Secretary
of
State.”
