JUST IN: Rex Tillerson Considering Quitting As Secretary Of State
When u have a boss that is unhinged and hugs a staff person one.day and ridicules him the next, what do u expect? Tillerson had too many morals and too much class for this circus.
US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson has denied rumours of a rift with Donald Trump, amid media reports he had called the president a "moron". "I'm not going to deal with petty stuff like that," he said, without denying the alleged remark. Mr Tillerson called a news conference after an NBC report said he had considered resigning earlier this year. He said his commitment to Mr Trump's White House was as strong as ever, and he would stay on as long as needed. NBC had alleged, citing White House sources, that Mr Tillerson had to be talked out of resigning in July.
It said he had been advised by Vice-President Mike Pence "on ways to ease tensions" with the president, the report added - something which Mr Tillerson denies. "The vice president has never had to persuade me to stay as secretary of state, because I have never considered leaving this post," he said. "I'm new to Washington, I have learned there are some who try to sow dissension to advance their own agenda by tearing others apart in an effort to undermine President Trump's own agenda. I do not and I will not operate that way." Just before Mr Tillerson spoke, Donald Trump took aim at their report, tweeting: "NBC news is #FakeNews and more dishonest than even CNN. They are a disgrace to good reporting. No wonder their news ratings are way down!"
Speaking in Las Vegas later, where he was visiting victims of the mass shooting, Mr Trump said he it was a "totally phony story... made up by NBC" and he had "total confidence in Rex." State department spokeswoman Heather Nauert also later refuted the "moron" remarks, even though the secretary himself had not. "The secretary did not use that type of language to speak about the president of the United States," she said. "He does not use that language to speak about anyone." She added that Mr Tillerson was a "tough old bird" and daring those who want him to resign: "go ahead and keep pushing - because that will only strengthen his resolve."
