In other words Tillerson does not agree with the president ... and that is good news.
President Trump “speaks for himself” on his values, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said Sunday. In other words Trump is wrong and does not reflect American values.
The U.S. commitment to tolerance and equality is unchanged, Tillerson said, in the wake of controversy over Trump's response to racially tinged violence.
“We express America's values from the State Department — our commitment to freedom, our commitment to equal treatment of people the world over,” Tillerson said on “Fox News Sunday,” adding: “And that message has never changed.”
A United Nations committee last week criticized Trump for what it deemed his failure to fully condemn hatred and bigotry in the wake of deadly violence at a white supremacist march in Charlottesville earlier this month.
“I don't believe anyone doubts the American people's values,” or the U.S. government's willingness to defend them, Tillerson said.
Asked whether Trump's reaction, which included a statement that there was blame on “many sides” for the violence in Charlottesville, reflects American values, Tillerson answered evenly.
