Rex Tillerson Didn't Just Call Trump a Moron, He Called Him a Fucking Moron

Maybe there was another in history, but I don't know of him.

And why is the press (mostly) sanitizing the statement?

I had to search through 40 stories to find one that has the actual quote from the July 20 meeting.

Tillerson didn't just call Trump a moron, he called him a FUCKING MORON.

<snip>The Secretary of State allegedly called the president a "fucking moron."...................................................

Rex Tillerson, a retired oil company executive and alleged "Secretary of State," apparently needed only a few months to decide that agreeing to serve as chief diplomat to a president with no interest in diplomacy was what they call a "career misstep." According to NBC News, Tillerson called the president a "moron" and threatened to quit after this summer's insane Boy Scouts Jamboree speech, returning to Washington only after being talked down by Vice President Pence and other "top administration officials." Axios helpfully reports that the epithet was, in fact, "fucking moron," because if you're going to publicly disparage your superior's intelligence and fitness for the job he holds, you might as well get in a profane adjective while you're at it.<snip>
