CBS to Chuck Schumer: Will Tillerson Have a ‘Problem’ Being Confirmed?

[See NewsBusters for more.] All three morning newscasts on Monday speculated about issues in confirming potential Secretary of State nominee Rex Tillerson, but only CBS This Morning’s Charlie Rose put the question directly to incoming Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. Rose prompted the partisan Democrat on the possible high profile pick by Donald Trump: “If Rex Tillerson is the nominee for the Secretary of State, will he have a problem being confirmed in the United States Senate?”  Unsurprisingly, Schumer agreed, “I can say this as the future Minority Leader, God willing, that this has to be a thorough [investigation].” Co-host Gayle King underlined, “Yes, there will be some follow-ups.”
