Sanders: Tillerson 'must be opposed'BY MALLORY SHELBOURNE - 12/13/16 12:05 PM EST
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) says Rex Tillerson, President-elect Donald Trumps choice for secretary of State, must be opposed.
Mr. Trump's nomination of Rex Tillerson for secretary of State is sending a very troubling message to the international community, Sanders said in a statement.
Not only is Mr. Tillerson a pal of Russia's authoritarian leader, Vladimir Putin, but he is the head of one of the largest oil companies in the world, he added.
Tillerson is facing criticism from both Democrats and Republicans in Congress for his ties to Russia through his business dealing as the CEO of Exxon Mobil Corp.

Senate majority Reid has the nuclear option for appointees so they only need 50 votes. Some repugs are going to have to vote no.
