Guess I missed the original context. Thanks!

Trump was on TV a lot. I'm confident I've probably said/heard it personally before 2015.

I’m sure people have been saying this since another person first encountered him. Again, Rex Tillerson was just the person who most loudly and most publicly said it. And he’s the person people can officially quote as an official spokesman from his own administration who said it in an official context.

That’s what makes it notable

Notable, but source of the quote? Rex Tillerson sounds like someone Trump made up.

Source of the official quote. As in an actual public official who said it during an official speech. Not just some yahoo off the street who happened to mention it in passing.
