So. Um.

A few days ago, Senator Bob Corker criticized President Trump for undermining Rex Tillerson. He rather explicitly said that the President shouldn’t “castrate” his Secretary of State.

And with Tillerson on CNN this morning, Jake Tapper broached the subject with him.

Tillerson defended Trump as an “unconventional” President who is “trying to motivate” people.

But Tapper had to ask him directly about the castration remark. And to that, the United States Secretary of State said:

“I checked, I’m fully intact.”
