Twitter Stunned by Report John Kelly Shared Weird Tillerson Toilet Anecdote: ‘Really Classy’
Of all the news people were expecting to drop this Friday, John Kelly sharing a weird anecdote about Rex Tillerson was nowhere near anyone’s radar.
And yet, that’s what The Daily Beast is reporting tonight. Kelly told reporters Tillerson was on the toilet when he broke the news of his firing.
Twitter reacted with a mix of puns (because of course) and genuine questions about why in God’s name Kelly would say this:

You’re Rex Tillerson. You’re the most powerful man in the world’s most powerful industry. You decide to leave it all to perform an act of public service. You are tormented by your new boss and humiliated during your time at State.
And then, on the way out, this is done to you. https://t.co/A5FSlYpi4m

Why would Rex Tillerson have told John Kelly he was on the toilet? I would not be shocked if Kelly made up that detail, much as he did with Frederica Wilson.

Remember this when Kelly tries to go on his post-Trump reputational redemption tour. https://t.co/nDQAOCUzVH

Why would Kelly share this knowing the potential for it to further piss off Tillerson and make him an enemy? Had to know it would likely leak https://t.co/tqCSQObZDe
