Commencement Address by Rex Tillerson

Rather startling comments, from former Secretary of State Tillerson, as reported by the New York Times.

Mr. Tillerson said, in part:

“If our leaders seek to conceal the truth, or we as people become accepting of alternative realities that are no longer grounded in facts, then we as American citizens are on a pathway to relinquishing our freedom.”

He said:  “When we as people, a free people, go wobbly on the truth even on what may seem the most trivial matters, we go wobbly on America.”
