NBC News thought it had a big scoop when it reported that Vice President Mike Pence had to step in and convince Secretary of State Rex Tillerson not to resign in July after he allegedly called President Donald Trump a ‘moron’.
Tillerson held a press conference this morning to counter these reports and assure everyone that he has never considered leaving his post. The State Department has denied that Tillerson called Trump a moron.
Despite this, the media remains focused on the ‘moron’ comment, which has now evolved from moron to f*cking moron.
Tillerson didn’t deny he made the comment about Trump, but said he won’t get involved in this petty behavior:
