Desperate MSNBC Reporter Escorted Away After Harassing Tillerson
Liberal MSNBC news anchor Andrea Mitchell was forced to leave a photo op with Ukrainian Foreign Minister Pavlo Klimkin and Secretary of State Rex Tillerson after yelling inappropriate questions during the event.
According to The Right Scoop, Mitchell kept trying to catch Tillerson off guard, hoping she could grab something to report.
“Mr. Secretary, China has said there would be consequences for the deployment now of anti-missile defenses in South Korea. Can you respond?” she yelled in the middle of the photo op.
That’s when aides stepped in, countering Mitchell’s comments with a simple “Thank you!” When Mitchell didn’t stop yelling, the aides stepped in to block the reporter from Tillerson.
“Mr. Minister, are you sure the Trump administration will be strong against (Russian President) Vladimir Putin?” she continued, directing a question to Klimkin. “Can you assure us that Russia will not be able to move any further into Ukraine?”
Mitchell was then thrown out of the room.

The foreign minister seemed pretty uncomfortable as Mitchell directed questions at him and Tillerson from across the room. As you can see, Tillerson stayed pretty calm throughout the incident and hardly paid Mitchell any attention.
It seems as if MSNBC didn’t get the rise they wanted out of the secretary of state.
