Kaine also offered a response to the exchange on Twitter Wednesday afternoon. Earlier, during questioning from Sen. Bob Corker (R-TN), Tillerson also misstated the confidence within the scientific community to anticipate the consequences of climate change. This was only the most outrageous of many unbelievable assertions by Tillerson. He didn’t think we knew enough about Putin’s crimes to call him a “ war criminal.” He testified that he and Trump didn’t talk about any specific Russian issues when they met. He claimed ignorance on how Exxon used a foreign joint venture to skirt the Iranian sanctions?—?even though Exxon had responded in detail to SEC questions on this issue after he had become CEO. And he simultaneously feigned ignorance and refused to answer the question of whether Exxon had kept funding disinformation on climate science even after the company had promised to stop. The “best” interpretation of the hearing is that Tillerson was a terrible CEO who knew nothing about what was happening at the company he was running. But the far more likely truth is that Tillerson, like ExxonMobil (and Trump and Putin), is a master of straight-faced disinformation. Either alternative points to the conclusion that Tillerson is unfit for this ultra-essential cabinet post, which was first held by Thomas Jefferson, and is fourth in line to be president of the United States. https://thinkprogress.org/tillerson-pleads-ignorance-on-exxons-russian-sanctions-lobbying-ef089e4232f8#.sjuy1ss58
