Secretary of State Rex Tillerson today reaffirmed his support for President Donald Trump and said he never thought about stepping down.
"I have never considered leaving this post," Tillerson said.
He said claims that Vice President Mike Pence had to stop him from resigning was "erroneously reported."
Tillerson said his commitment to Trump and the administration "is as strong as it was" on his first day in office and the president has "given voice to millions who felt completely abandoned to the political status quo."
When asked directly about the NBC report that said Tillerson had called Trump a "moron" after a meeting with national security advisers in July, Tillerson did not confirm nor deny the claim.
"I'm not going to deal with petty stuff like that. This is what I don't understand about Washington. I'm not from here," Tillerson said.
He continued, "That kind of petty nonsense -- it is intended to do nothing but divide people."
