Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo will be out Tuesday with a memoir that hits former President Trump for defending Vladimir Putin at a notorious press conference.

Driving the news:

"My first major Russia-related work as secretary came in July 2018, when President Trump met Putin in Helsinki," Pompeo writes in ""This engagement," Pompeo writes, "is remembered for the press conference held at the end of their meeting" — aTrump’s language there was neither accurate nor helpful," Pompeo adds:

To stand next to Putin and say that he believed Putin’s claims that he didn’t meddle in the U.S. election was very Trumpian. It was also a mistake. It lacked the depth to address the question that had come from the American reporter: "Do you hold Russia at all accountable for anything in particular?" Trump’s answer reflected his inability or refusal to separate the Russia Hoax from the fact that Russia had tried to sow chaos in the 2016 election.

Mike pence was in my neighbourhood, do you believe that?

nobody cares, Mike

Nobody cares what a Trump regime collaborator and enabler thinks. Don't do his PR for him.

Pompeo is a Putinophilic traitor and has nothing to say that's worth listening to.

Eating their own

Hahaha this guy was a Trump enabler going along with all of Trump’s insane proposals and he didn’t speak up when it mattered now he’s cashing in on his time as Secretary of State pathetic, but the press is even more pathetic for not pointing that out instead they promote his book

Yet he still voted and campaigned for Trump in 2020 and after the election while the transition was being blocked said there would be a smooth transition to a second Trump administration

Book burning could come back from reading that distortion.

过气网红不如狗

The dude that surrendered Afghanistan to the Taliban and used State department staff to run personal errands. He's a modern-day republican, bad for our country in every way possible.

Profiles in cowardice.

Another grift from the WORST Administration in HISTORY. mikepompeo WORST Secretary of State every. HouseGOP want to save money, stop the grift off taxpayers by Republicans. UNFIT for anything.

Trump works for Putin… Pompeo knew it and said nothing

Now there's a man who needs to go to heaven. Pronto.

Why are you promoting his book? Real journalism is out the window.

Fun fact - the best endorsement of his book comes from, him.

Oh look! A book I will never buy!

Except he said this:

Not gonna read it.

Welp, I'm outta here, gotta buy several copies of this, because - Okay, just kidding. Not buying it.

The blurb says it’s an excellent read. 😏

Complicit coward suddenly finds voice to sell books? 🥱

Imagine spending money on this book

Pompeo will give his ex-idol a schlapp on the wrist

Another Trump grifter/opportunist. Won't be president.

I was appalled by that also. It was unbelievable a US President did that. What was even worse. The Trumpian cult that hail him over all his horrible actions.

What a joke
