Savage Criticizes Trump Twitter Firing, Nation in 'Turmoil'

Conservative radio host Michael Savage tore into President Donald Trump on Tuesday for subjecting Secretary of State Rex Tillerson to the "public humiliation" of getting fired via Twitter.

According to "The Savage Nation" moderator, "it's astounding the way Tillerson was treated."

"By kicking him out by Twitter, what he's saying is 'Well, you know what, I don't even know if I should have hired him.' So, it's a reflection of his own bad judgment," Savage said.

Savage also decried the "turmoil" in the country, and suggested the problem was "inside the corridors of power."

"The country is in turmoil and this is not a good thing for the nation or the world," he said, adding that Trump "just made an enemy of him by publicly humiliating him."

"I don't want to hear the bootlickers get up there and say it was the right thing to do because you're gonna hear that from the bootlickers," he said.

"The bootlickers who put you down and put Trump down are now going to say this is the way to do things," he continued. "Well, maybe that's a reflection of their character, it's not a reflection of mine."
