On Sunday, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson was once again given an opportunity to declare he didn’t call the President a moron. He could have put this whole thing to rest with a single word: “No.” His people have already publicly said as much. Why is he sticking with, “I’m not going to dignify the question with an answer”?
There’s really only one valid reason. He DID call the President a moron. At this stage, there’s really no other explanation. To say that the question shouldn’t be dignified and that he won’t be playing games is not true because we’re talking about one of the most important relationships in Washington DC. The Secretary of State needs to be in lockstep with the Oval Office. If there’s a problem, it needs to be stopped immediately. If there’s a perceived problem that’s untrue, it needs to be put to rest immediately.
Tillerson is prolonging this whole situation because he did call the President a moron and he either fears audio of it will leak or he can’t in good conscience lie about it. To try to put it to rest by not dignifying the question is going to haunt him and the administration indefinitely. He’ll need to stop doing interviews because it’s going to come up every single time. He needs to step down or get fired or something.
Or, he could just deny saying it. Why make this hard?

Yeah, I find your argument pretty convincing. It would be easy to say, “of course not”.
He probably did say it. But I think he can probably get away with just stonewalling it for awhile longer, and eventually they will quit asking about it.
There is one more reason he might not answer that question. That is if he didn’t actually say exactly that, but said something similar that is as bad or worse, and he is afraid it will be leaked. In that case, he would be wise to refuse to answer this one, because then if the worse thing were to be leaked later, he would not be able to fall back on “I am not going to dignify that”, because having already denied the “moron” comment, there would be no rationale for not denying the other.
So it looks like he probably said it or something else just as bad.
Have you ever heard the expression “he doesn’t suffer fools lightly”?
Maybe that is the answer. And he doesn’t want to encourage more fools.
Q: “Why won’t Tillerson just say he didn’t call Trump a moron?”
A: Because HE’S a MORON !!!
