In a statement Saturday, Sec. Pompeo does not dispute an NPR host's reporting about his actions in a post-interview lecture, but does challenge the host's character and journalistic integrity.

Kelly said she did not agree to be off the record at any point, and had communicated in advance to Pompeo’s office that she intended to ask him about Iran and Ukraine.“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,” Pompeo said Saturday.

After Pompeo abruptly ended the interview, an aide called Kelly back to Pompeo’s private living room where the correspondent said he “shouted” and “used the F word,” asking whether she thought Americans care about Ukraine, and predicting that"people will hear about this." According to Kelly, Pompeo asked for aides to bring him a map without country names marked and asked her to identify Ukraine.

"I pointed to Ukraine he put the map away, he said, people will hear about this, and then he turned and said he had things to do, and I thanked him again for his time and left," Kelly recounted. Pompeo did not dispute Kelly's claim that she had correctly identified Ukraine. “It is worth noting that Bangladesh is NOT Ukraine,” he said in his statement — but did not allege that Kelly had done so.

patburrow1 Figures

This man has no dignity

and now yours in in question too

He is questioning her character Interesting, for someone that has none, including integrity!!!!!

Let's see (1) she told him it would be off the record-she lied; (2) her whole interview was recorded, but of course not the part where he cursed at her, she coincidentally didn't record that did she? Another sham from a liberal hack w/TDS. Not even close. SecPompeo 1-Reporter-0

What’s ever trump touches dies.

Satan is gonna have that 🔥 extra hot for this bunch! Do you notice that this crowd really treats females badly?

Clearly, most Journalist today were handed a degree and did not earn it, they are a petty bunch, my 8 yr old granddaughters are more mature than them and more honest.

Glass house.

He’s next on the impeachment list.

The majority of Journalist are on the take. You put your money where your heart is. Wake up America They are after You and realDonaldTrump is Standing in Their Way. It’s one big Elitist Club and you are Not in it. 3 yrs of Trump policy PROVES It. 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

Everyone who enters the event horizon of thedonald is driven to their lizard brain. It's the measure of the individual to pull themselves back to sanity. lizardbrainmike is a total fail.

This argument that SecPompeo is throwing out there diminishes more his standing cause everyone know the reporter standing in the world. ABC CBSNews CNN NBCNews SenateDems HouseDemocrats SenateGOP HouseGOP

The media is a corrupt bunch.

NBCNews NPR nprpolitics what this reporters actions PROVE to us is POTUS was right! The Media cannot B trusted-they LIE, like DEMOcRATS have JUST been PROVEN 2B schemers, cheaters, & Liars! No ? After evidence presented today showing everything HouseDemocrats said is FALSE!

IloveFlorida001 If he was a decent Christian he would apologize profusely, admit his grotesque behavior was too damaging for the future of the country, and resign Instead he acted Republican.

Claire M is right, Brian and Chuck. This Residence Takes Prisoners! I see Brian trying to make something sensational of nothing, and Chuck tends to under state the serious out points

That wannabe mobster challenging anyone's integrity is the laugh of the day! PompeoMeltdown PompeoResign

SecPompeo IS NOT IN THE MORAL AUTHORITY TO QUESTION ANYONE ELSES

Pompeo and his Boss have No idea what Character or Integrity even are

Those who live in glass houses should not throw stones...

Of course he does just like his daddy Trump would do

Pompeo has always been abusive....he's just let his veneer slip more than usual. Why is anyone surprised?

glad he verbally beat the bum up!

Please SHARE my link to help get my Dad back home to get medical treatment need for survival. Thank You GOD BLESS!

Good boy, Mikey. Attack the victim.

Funny he is talking about anyone’s character. Maybe he should start with his bosses character!!!

Poor baby

Seems he would have done better to just be quiet, but that's the nature of the pompous.

Gaslighting

He's the last person to ever question someone's integrity... 👀

He needs to resign. He is bullying female reporters for doing their jobs and asking him questions. This isn’t Russia yet even though he would prefer it that way.

This is the projection administration

Distract and reflect are all Pompeo has.

Utterly disgraceful. Pompeo should step down immediately.

Of course he does, because that’s the go to move.

It’s the “Trump Defense”

Don’t all abusers do that. Common abuser tactic

I'd put my trust in NPRKelly over that lying slug, anyday.

unhinged GOPComplicitTraitors

Nobody believes SecPompeo, over this terrific reporter, nobody. NPRKelly

Oh that’s nice he’s lecturing on integrity

Disgraceful, but we are use to the media acting in such a manner

America should challenge realDonaldTrump ALL of his administration’s integrity!

Thoughts and prayers.

Is anyone concerned that Pompeo might think Bangladesh is actually Ukraine?!

She says he did not ask for OTR.

They’re all delusional 👀
