Pompeo accused reporter Mary Louise Kelly of lying, but did not deny her account of what happened.
"It is shameful that this reporter chose to violate the basic rules of journalism and decency. This is another example of how unhinged the media has become in its quest to hurt President Trump and this Administration. It is no wonder that the American people distrust many in the media when they so consistently demonstrate their agenda and their absence of integrity," he added.when she questioned him on why he has not defended former Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch.
"He asked if I could find Ukraine on a map. I said yes, and he called out for aides to bring us a map of the world with no writing. I pointed to Ukraine. He put the map away," she said. "He said, 'People will hear about this.'" Pompeo ended his statement by saying, "It is worth noting that Bangladesh is NOT Ukraine," implying that Kelly, who previously covered national security for NPR and has a masters in European Studies from Cambridge University, identified Bangladesh on the map instead of Ukraine."Pompeo's official response [to Kelly] doesn't deny her account of his bullying & cursing," wrote New York Times diplomatic correspondent Edward Wong.

What a *M-ITCH* Move... He's obviously channeling his inner Trumpism persona...Lie, Deny, Deflect, and Lie some more...
I think it’s amusing when an unhinged Trumpie calls a journslist unhinged
Pompeo graduated from West Point- their motto” Integrity first, Service before self, Excellence in all we do” West Point must be embarrassed - Pompeo did not defend Yovanovitch, He can’t handle hard Q that demand truthful answers-He’s a liar , Trump lap dog- Pompeo should resign!
A fine Christian gentlemen cursing out a female reporter for asking a question. Just remember she’s the unhinged one.
Psycho
These people do realize they are public servants?
That’s ok Matt Lauer rapped women at NBC, with zero persecution.
For having little hands, Trump can always reach the bottom of the barrel for staff picks.
Pompeo is a weak man! Period.
He used the F word...Same one Deniro used on national TV for the president. Anyone care about that? Quit yer crying.
Can't get his story straight.
He better not, T. would fire him.

FAILURE TO CONVICT TRUMP MEANS OUR DEMOCRACY HAS FAILED. WE ARE UP FOR BID BY ANY FOREIGN OR LOCAL POWER. WE ARE NO LONGER FREE! THIS GENERATION WILL HAVE FAILED!
Classy Pompeo tries to intimidate a woman reporter, when he couldn’t he went to smearing.
Seems about right for this regime, eliminating all oversight from all quarters. First, the press/media, then Congress, then the rest of us. Can’t wait.
A charismatic man, very talented.
The walls are closing in and now there aren’t enough donuts in the world to make Mikey feel better.
