Okay, it’s not exactly an apology tour because he spoke the words while on U.S. soil. But it was an apology for America by Trump Secretary of State Rex Tillerson while standing alongside Mexican Foreign Secretary Luis Videgaray Caso and Mexican Secretary of Government Miguel Angel Osorio Chong on Thursday during a press conference at the State Department.
Speaking about the “illicit drug trade” while holding his hand over his chest for several seconds as a symbol of admitted guilt, Trump Secretary of State Rex Tillerson argued that Mexico’s organized crime problem is the fault of the Unites States and that the American people need to own up to it:
“We know what we own, and we as Americans need to confront that we are the market. There is no other market for these activities –it is all coming here. But for us, Mexico wouldn’t have the trans-criminal organized crime problem and the violence that they’re suffering. And we really have to own up to that.” Granted, the U.S. buys more drugs from Mexico than any other country in the world. But to tie that to making America fully responsible for their organized drug problem and “suffering” is a huge stretch — one that we would expect to hear from an America-hating leftist.
I’m old enough to remember former President Barack Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry constantly apologizing to foreign countries for the U.S. and back then — in the good old days — it was called an “apology tour” and certainly unpatriotic.

Which came first, the pusher or the junkie?
Nieve sentimentalism. If the drugs were not available there would be no drug problem. What we own is not destroying the cartels.
Fine, start charging and jailing employers, even homeowners and families for hiring illegal aliens. Remove the lure of jobs.
“one that we would expect to hear from an America-hating leftist”
Nice try, politidipstick, but the left would never condemn the American drug user, it’s most solid base.
They blame and condemn corporations and conservatives.
I’m surprised illegal aliens from Mexico here in the USA don’t try to off as many drug abusers here for having turned their homeland into a narcoterrorist state.
I can see how American junkies contributed to that problem.
I’m your Mama
I’m your Daddy
I’m that nigga
In the alley
I’m your doctor
When in need
Want some coke?
Have some weed
You know me
I’m your friend
Your main boy
Thick and thin
I’m your Pusherman
I’m your Pusherman
Silent life of crime
A man of odd circumstance
A Victim of ghetto demands
Feed me money for style
And I’ll let you trip for a while
Insecure from the past
How long can a good thing last?
Woo-hoo, no...
Got to be mellow, y’all
Gotta get mellow, now
Pusherman gettin’ mellow, y’all
Is tillerson a Dem? His ideas are more Dem
I blame the 60’s. That is when the destructive shift in our national morals was most pronounced and we suffer the same fools today who still promote it.
Trying to kill off lower class whites!
Didn’t sound like an apology at all.
American drug abusers value drugs above the country, so instead of jailing ‘em, we should expel ‘em from the country into Mexico, where they can enjoy their fake chemically-induced feelings with abandon.
en español, por favor.
How am I sentimental about the truth? I am hardly unaware of the problems after over two decades in law enforcement. On what do you base your opinion out of curiosity?
Without the users and dealers here in the U.S. (and elsewhere) there is no market for the product. No market = no profits = no cartels.
Again, you cannot have one without the other.
Singapore values health and human independence over some fake fleeting chemically-induced feelings.
And the Chinese saw what the Opium Dens did to their country.
Well someone is buying the drugs.
Perhaps but he's certainly not as ignorant as you, a continued Trump Hater..
I would ask you to explain why, but just like the Democrats you seem to echo, you'd come up with a myriad of lame excuses those same Trump Haters would offer..........
Trump's erecting a building without permits

Your anti-TRUMP rants precede you, I'm surprised you're still allowed to hang around........
get over yourself. I voted for trump just like any other level headed conservative. but if you want to defend every action, every appointment, every unfinished promise, go for it.
his cabinet is rife with liberals and back stabbers.
