Sergei Lavrov Appears w/ Sec. Tillerson for Short Press Intro

When members of the press shout to the pair for their thoughts on the Comey firing, the Russian, Lavrov slyly remarked, "Comey's fired? You're kidding, you're kidding". He smirked, turned with Tillerson and they both walked out of the room.

The dismantling of American democracy seems to be an ongoing joke among Trump insiders and Russian oligarchs.

The Secretary of State stands by and allow this Russian POS, who was actively involved in the hacking of our election to sneer and smirk when the free press asks him a question. Do we need any more proof. of who is in charge of this white house?
