March 22 (UPI) -- Secretary of State Rex Tillerson gave his farewell speech Thursday, encouraging State Department employees to do "one act of kindness each day" in what he described as a "mean-spirited" Washington, D.C.
Tillerson, whose firing President Donald Trump announced on Twitter last week, will depart his Cabinet role at midnight March 31. The secretary didn't mention his boss by name in his Thursday speech, nor did he March 13 when he spoke about his firing.
