CNN ‘Confirms’ That Tillerson Did, In Fact, Call Trump A ‘Moron’

More hard-hitting journalism from CNN.

According to anonymous senior administration officials who spoke to NBC News, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson called President Trump a “moron” and threatened to quit over the summer. Tillerson denied that he ever threatened to leave his post.

He didn’t straight up deny calling Trump a moron. He simply said, “I’m not going to deal with petty stuff like that.”

Did Tillerson call Trump a moron? THE NATION NEEDS ANSWERS NOW! CNN was determined to get to the bottom of this mystery.

CNN just now: “We have confirmed that the Secretary of State did refer to the president as a moron this summer."

This is the news. CNN “journalists” actually spent a good deal of time trying to confirm this.

CNN: "We have confirmed that Tillerson did refer to the president as a moron."

But wait. There’s MORE. He didn’t just call him a moron. He allegedly called him a “f***ing moron.”

Just now, @SRuhle: "My source didn't just say he called him a moron. He said he called him an f-ing moron."

Again. This is the news.

I don’t care if Tillerson called Trump a moron. It doesn’t change anything. I’ve called people I’m close to morons. Who cares? I’m not trying to downplay this. It’s simply not a big deal to me.

State Dept's Nauert says Tillerson didn't apologize to Trump. One wasn't needed. Says Tillerson never called Trump a "moron."

This is all so dumb.
