We've not heard the last of this.

Rex Tillerson says he won't quit but doesn't deny calling Trump a 'moron'
<excerpt>
But he did not deny the report on NBC News on Wednesday morning that he had derided Trump as a “moron” in a meeting of White House national security officials and members of the cabinet. Instead, he shrugged off the report as “petty nonsense” and issued a stream of praise for the president.

Non story...no one's boss is perfect and even the most ardent team member gets frustrated. This is high pressure stuff...people will get flustered.

 

[WheelieAddict]

Well I wouldn't deny that either. I mean who would.

This President is unstable and unpredictable, with an erratic temperament. Working for him will be a crap shoot, a day-to-day thing, at best.

Mrs. Clinton thought Obama was a moron, but the media refused to report it.

....And there is the reality: what you wrote may be so, and Trump IS a moron.

'May' is an incalculable variable.

No, he did not. He said he never thought about resigning. The whole point of the story is that when directly asked about calling trump a moron, he evaded the question. He did not deny calling trump a moron.
Our President is a moron and even his top Cabinet official, the Secretary of State says so.

A spokesman for the Department came out a bit later and issued the clarifying statement that Tillerson never called Trump a moron. I don't really think he was evading the question. He was pissed that the conversation had even sunk to that level; that's what he was trying to convey, but he needed a bigger head of steam to get that message across effectively. Telling a bunch of reporters that they are acting like morons needs a bit of wholehearted disgust and derision.

It was a weak denial by a "spokesperson" and does not even qualify as a real denial. The spokesman said the Sec. of State does not use that kind of language and would not call the President a name. There was no categorical denial or evidence to dispute the report that I saw.

He himself could not deny it, so as it rests he obviously did call T a moron (as far as I'm concerned). The spokeswomen was doing her job which she gets paid for.

Yes he doesn't lie as easily as T does.

Bullshyting your way by evading a direct answer and deflecting is not honesty.
