If you've been paying attention to outgoing Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) and President Donald Trump's heated back and forth, you know that Corker threw Secretary of State Rex Tillerson's name into the discussion.
Corker went so far as to say that Trump had "castrated" his secretary of state, in an interview with the Washington Post.
“You cannot publicly castrate your own secretary of state without giving yourself that binary choice,” Corker said Friday.
Rex Tillerson made an appearance on CNN's State of the Union Sunday, and anchor Jake Tapper cut right to the chase, asking Tillerson to respond to the "castration claim."
Tillerson gave a minute-long response explaining that his and President Trump's end goals are in alignment, while also describing Trump's communication methods as "unconventional."

At the very end of the clip, Tapper asked again if Tillerson was concerned about being "gelded" in front of the whole world.
“I checked, I’m fully intact,” Tillerson replied.
