Secretary of State Rex Tillerson talks to Chris Wallace today about American values:

Here’s a paraphrase:
WALLACE: Foreign leaders are questioning the president’s values.
TILLERSON: The State Department represents American values.
WALLACE: And the president?
TILLERSON: No one doubts the commitment of the American government.
WALLACE: And the president?
TILLERSON: The president speaks for himself.
WALLACE: But not for you?
TILLERSON: I’ve made my own comments about that.
So Tillerson has now joined Mnuchin, Cohn, Mattis, and the service chiefs in distancing himself from his president. Cabinet meetings must be a real joy these days.
