Secretary of State Mike Pompeo erupted in an expletive-laden outburst after an NPR broadcaster asked if he owed an apology to Marie Yovanovitch, who was recalled last year as the U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, according to accounts by the broadcaster.
Mr. Pompeo asserted in an interview with Mary Louise Kelly, a co-host of “All Things Considered,” that he had “done what’s right” for every person on the State Department team.
Curious. Trump administration officials are a truly remarkable group — everyone around them lies. But they are always truthful.
He’s becoming a bigger liar than the FakePresident
Of course......it’s NEVER their FAULT....always someone or something else.....they are ALWAYS in the right!!!
Pompeo must be part of those bureaucrats I keep hearing about, destroying our Republic. Unelected officials must answer to the people.
What do you expect from NPR? (Leftist central), of course they lied in order to setup the ambush!
Pompeo is such a weakling. He wants us to think the reporter pointed to Bangladesh but won’t come out and actually say so. Come on Pompeo, have the balls to commit to the lie. Why do smart woman piss these guys off so much.
Pompeo looks like a real ass... but what’s new
They have issued all cabinet members shovels. They hit rock bottom and now they are digging.
Agree,ent in content of interview beforehand is typical. Kelly very well might have crossed into gray area. But this is about the behavior of the United States Secretary of State. Don’t distract.
Pompeo to MLK: “Remember your journalistic oath to ask no questions that might upset my boss or damage my chances at running for the US Senate.”
Perhaps the WSJ should start asking tough questions of this Admin instead of acting like the apologist cheerleaders. You know, real journalism.

Has NPR joined the Fake News corps?
What a snowflake. He’s Secretary of State. He works for us. There should be no question about his job that are off-limits.
Pompeo. Just another nut less puppet.
no one cares. Well, except for the woke SJW cancel culture morons that live in an eternal state of infuriation
In all fairness to Secretary Pompeo, it must be very frustrating to be asked difficult questions by non-Fox media when there aren’t any good answers that most people might believe.
StateDept we don’t buy your BS. SecPompeo is another liar, like his beloved boss. Stop gaslighting on tax payer money.
And he handled it really well. Nothing to hide and cool under pressure. What a joke
Npr became weaponized about the same time trump decided we dont need to fund them. Funny how that works.
If anyone believes anything the GOP and this administration say have to be gullable idiots. Trump has said so many false stupid things and he has our lives and security in his hands--- it is a horror.
Npr/cnn whats the difference ?!
He thought it was a Fox interview with softball questions.
Says the guy who lied during the interview. NPR npratc If you have tape of this, you need to release it.
Extraordinary claims, etc., etc.
The way he has been lying lately who is going to believe this BS.
Lying.
So, the most professional action he could take if he felt he had been lied to was assault. I think HR needs to step in with an intervention.
The US political establishment cars for geopolitical, strategic position of Ukraine (thus military aid not for the people of Ukraine - let's be clear about it. We spend billions supporting regimes or throwing legitimate, democratic govs that are not in line w/ US interests.
Oh yeah, BTW. thin skinned rage is the exact opposite of what is required negotiating foreign policy. Hey Mike! Wanna play some poker? TiltedMark
He’s the Secretary of State, which is a position that’s also called the “chief diplomat.” And his explanation for why he threw a demeaning and profane temper tantrum is that the mean lady lied to him? It’s so sadly emblematic of this administration’s approach to problem solving.
He asked her to point it out on the map so she can teach him.
yeah she asked real questions about what he was actually accomplishing as Secretary of State and he had no answers - he is a complete fraud and failure and does not belong in any active position in US government - frump does not want a real SOS he has his poodle and wants to keep
We genuinely hope NPR has audios of exchange. It should be released immediately to the public.
Ur the SOS! It’s ur job to answer question about your portfolio. You’re a gov bureaucrat not a private sector employee. Stop ur whining and answer the bloody question!
Pompeo is an embarrassment to himself and this country. There really is no rock bottom in this administration.
This clown show.
Npr is a joke Also msm is amplifying this story because trump is shredding the democrats impeachment at this very moment, and the don't want to cover that
Furthermore, there is no denial of his off camera behavior, Pompeo just blames the reporter for provoking him.
Very upset but can't/won't deny NPR's account, lol..
He's as despicable a human being as was ever born.
I believe the reporter from NPR. I have seen SecPompeo be very rude and demeaning on TV to women reporters before. Trump & his swamp surrounds himself with men who treat women as second class citizens.
Unfortunately, now this is what he will be remembered for. His choice.
Mr. Pompeo should have understood that when dealing with the press, there is no “off the record”. Always been that way. If journalist believe otherwise, rogues are destroying your profession’s credibility.
Lying ham sandwich says what? DisgraceToWestPointGraduates
US needs minimum maturity limits for cabinet officers. No longer need evidence this cabal clownishly lacks the skill or the temperament for their jobs.
The only one telling lies here is SecPompeo
Hahahahahahahaha Hahahahahahahaha
But pointedly does not deny her account of what he said to her, or how he said it.
That does not excuse a profanity laced tirade by the Secretary of State. There is no excuse for behavior like that.
can someone verify if this video is real or not?
Who to believe....WH v NPR? Given the track record. We know. It's the reporter. Believe the reporter.
POMPEO MUST GO....HE IS NOT WORKING FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE
Nope. No Trump administration official gets to complain about lies. Sorry SecPompeo
Is anyone concerned that Pompeo might think Bangladesh is actually Ukraine?!
Hopefully they will be defunded after the Nov election.
What a POS.
SecPompeo IS THE LIAR , COVERUP KING
That is probably the worst thing Trump have done,,,lowered the standards and the norms. This guy would have been kicked out in seconds in any other administration. So sad...
SecPompeo it’s a joke this guy is our top diplomat. Abusing journalist is neither cool nor to be tolerated. Resign.
Like Catholic priests, these guys won’t be questioned.
FakeNews as usual fabricating stories this is the link for full interview both audio and transcript
The culture in the Trump administration is the they owe explanations to no one and certainly not apologies. It is an established autocratic mentality that comes from Trump himself. It is contrary and toxic to democracy.
The truth shall be revealed!
Shows you that West Point doesn't make strong men of character anymore. PatheticPompeo
What are your daily tasks? Rascism and communism? Human sacrifices? Throw yourself into a small jail, obese diabetic possessor of dementia
When I first heard this story, I couldn't locate Ukraine on a map. Now I can, just in case Pompeo goes of on me someday. NPRKelly
Good. It’s time for him to demand the respect he’s earned.
Who's next?
What_happened_in_Ain_al_Assad
atta boy
All right that’s my man!!!!!
What a fragile child. Embarrassing trump surrounds himself with people like this.
Yes he does but he a Trump clone
BS
This guy's a weasel.
SecPompeo the punk. I wish you would scream at me so I could tell you to go fuck.
Don't believe it.Pompeos always cool under pressure, listen to the audio. Yovanovitch was advising others to wait Trump out, that he was going to be impeached.
Why would you owe an apology to a person who helped an attempted coup?
I’ll just assume she asked the same question of Killery when all Bush appointee ambassadors were fired by Obama en masse. On second thought, I better not.
Pompeo is afraid of the truth.
Where's the expletive laden part? He sounded wholly composed, but annoyed at her badgering .He answered the question she didn't like it so kept repeating it in different ways, arguing with him. That's not journalism, that's playing to the crowd
Cracking under pressure
He owes her so much more than an apology
SecPompeo is just another fake Christian exposing his true self maga
Um no she serves at the pleasure of the President
What are y’all now, Page 6? No one cares that the reporter was dishonest & broke her questioning protocol, then SecPompeo lost his cool for 2 seconds. The Secretary is an amazing thinker & 99% of the time calm, cool as a cucumber & collected. I’d lose my cool too! MAGA2020
Works for me!
Upbraided, I say! More like lost it.
“Mr. Pompeo directed an aide to bring an unlabeled map of the world and challenged Ms. Kelly to point to Ukraine, which she did, NPR said.” Does he just have unlabeled maps sitting around in case he needs to challenge someone? How long did it take to summon said map?
I get the feeling someone called Pompeo knows they backed the wrong team and they are going down....and to an evangelical like Pompeo..down means deep down where it’s hot and spiky
Thank heaven for NPRKelly.
They have only anger name calling, lies & a phony righteous indignation as a defense.
Four-Letter Mike...
Is not he an Evangelical Christian? Didn't he say God installed Trump in WH to save Israel from Iran? Now is God putting all those F words in his mouth to save United States? God & America?
The President has every right to fire an ambassador, especially one who was bad-mouthing him in a foreign country where she was stationed. It is the worst behavior an ambassador can engage in. In fact, it is the ambassador who should apologize to the Secy of State.
What a tool.
He knew the walks are closing in
What the duck
45's lawyers told House Managers that they owed an apology to 45 and his ENTIRE family! Well I never...just put my head on a pike and call me done.
Mike Pompeo was involved in Trump's scheme. How does such a bad Secretary of State it have a job?
It was NPR so....
The attacks from MOB MEDIA supporting DEVIL FDEMS may intensify every day on the following weeks. Attention: senatemajldr SenateGOP SRCC lindseygrahamSC senjohnthune RoyBlunt joniErns SenToddYoung sentomcotton senjoshhawley senjohnkennedy sentedcruz senmarcorubio
So many American women in the workplace can relate to this abuse.
I hope that when Trump is acquitted and promptly reelected that he cleans house in a major way. These Democrat operatives in our embassies, intelligence agencies, and all of the various departments must go.
Weird how the words 'allegedly' or 'alleged' don't appear anywhere when there is zero evidence that this actually happened. Oh wait, 'journalist' never make things up, right?
Yawn. Globalist WSJ doing their thing.
So?
He is very fragile.
Ha! Madd Madd..
