Secretary of State Mike Pompeo refused to say if he met with Rudy Giuliani in Warsaw when they were both there in mid-February.

In an interview with Nashville’s News4, Pompeo changed the subject every time reporter Nancy Amons asked him a question.

When Amons prodded him on the text messages exchanged between Giuliani and state department officials, he lashed out.

“Again, you’ve got your facts wrong,” he said. “It sounds like you’re working at least in part for the Democratic National Committee.”

Pompeo also refused to address the resignation of his top aide Michael McKinley. McKinley reportedly quit over Pompeo’s refusal to defend the diplomats enmeshed in the Ukrainian scandal.

    If he’s denying, he’s lying. If he hadn’t met with Rudy Colludey, he could just have said “No, I didn’t.”

    Nice try with the “DNC talking points,” you fucking traitor.

    So Mikee, are you stupid, or are you STUPID? Trump keeps touting him as a Harvard-educated genius who was first in his class at West Point. Is ANY of that true, because I don’t see how it could be unless palms were majorly greased by his dad. This guy is a fucking MORON, not just based on this, but based on literally everything I’ve heard come out of his fat ugly mouth. He’s not even a good liar, his body language a huge tell. If I were a poker player he’s the guy I’d want to play against.

  4. For a guy who put HRC through the mill for 11 hours of Benghazi questioning under-oath, Pompeo sure doesn’t seem to know how to answer simple binary questions. Weird.

    Why are you cruelly attacking this man? Won’t any of you think of all the poor Warsaw orphans?
