Stephen Colbert Tackles Rex Tillerson 'Moron' Story

During his Wednesday night monologue, Stephen Colbert talked about the NBC News report that Secretary of State Rex Tillerson called President Trump a "moron" after a meeting at the Pentagon.

Nothing that Trump tweeted after the report came out, calling it "fake news," Colbert said, "What's lovely is in times of trouble, Donald Trump is always there for himself."

The comedian went on to discuss Tillerson's comments that the U.S. is in direct communication with North Korea and Trump's response, on Twitter, that Tillerson is wasting his time talking to "Little Rocket Man."

"Spoken like a true moron," Colbert said.
