After a tense interview on NPR's 'All Things Considered,' the secretary of state issued a statement Saturday accusing reporter Mary Louise Kelly of lying to him.

"You know, I agreed to come on your show today to talk about Iran," Pompeo said."That's what I intend to do. I know what our Ukraine policy has been now for the three years of this administration." When Kelly mentioned that she confirmed with Pompeo's staff that they would speak about both Iran and Ukraine, he said he didn't"have anything else to say about that this morning.

Asked where he had backed Yovanovitch, Pompeo said he'd"defended every single person on this team," but did not give Kelly an answer on whether he could point to his remarks defending the former ambassador."I've said all I'm going to say today," he said. Pompeo also said that he was proud of the work the Trump administration has done in Ukraine.

She also said the secretary of state requested an unlabeled map of the world and asked Kelly if she could find Ukraine on a map. Kelly said she pointed to it, and he put the map away.NPR stood by Kelly's report.

Yeah as if the interviewer doesn't have to clear the topics of the interview prior to airing.

He needs to stay in the WH and bask in the bubble of that false reality.

He actually means “Pompeo lied to NPR reporter during interview, but he does not apologize = Trump.

Mike has no credibility.

Just like his boss with the world, then

I believe Mary Louise Kelly.

🔶 Another DISTRACTION to cover up the Lying King! 🔶

Well I think we all know who has the world class reputation as AllThePresidentsLiars and it does not include an NPR reporter.

Honest Mike?

SecPompeo, nobody believes she confused Bangladesh with Ukraine.

Its too bad he doesn’t stand up for his people certainly not a leader

Aww, poor thing SecPompeo. You guys lie all the time.

I doubt it.

How many times has he lied to the reporters? He and his boss both.

PomPom would say anything. He’s just like trump, a liar.

I heard the interview and I believe he is full of shit.

SecPompeo Someone lies to you? How's it feel Spanky?

The people know you lie because you do it so well for trump

The Trumpsters are always victims.

She said she did not

Who am I going to believe? Not Pompeo.

Did the nasty reporter hurt you, poor baby!

If he let his guard down to a reporter imagine how many times he’s been duped by other leaders. failedsecretaryofstate

What is this man’s problem?

That’s their go to answer

Let’s compare records. Pompeo’s is well-known. When someone shows you who they are..... Pompeo is lying now.

Liar who works for pathological liar wants you to believe his yelling swearing hissy fit was justified. Nope.

Unfit

Cause you never lie right? Oh the hypocrisy

I call bullshit...again

Sorry, but absolutely zero that comes from the trump administration is even remotely believable anymore. Their credibility is dead.

Sure Jan ... because he doesn't lie to the American public. Must be awesome to always have someone else to ride when there is a screw up.

He better be careful, or the roof of his church might fall on him.

She can’t be lying she was asking questions and you lied answering the questions

What was the thing she lied about? He doesn’t specify. I’m curious. And I can’t stand this guy. He’s so arrogant & snide.

Doubt it

PompeoMeltdown

another born liar doing what they do best

Well hell u guys lie all day everyday

How dare she?! Doesn’t she know rompompum has virgin ears?!

I would never interview a single solitary person in this administration without recording it as well

Snowflake! A little touchy on Ukraine and Yovanovich. Why?

He's a thug, nothing more, appointed by a thug usurper 2 fit his rogue regime. Stupid man, vocabulary limited to four-letter words, bully, clueless for State Dept. And thinks Americans don't care about Ukraine or any other foreign policy violation by Teflon Don. Hopeless.

Trump administration and it's base. The true snowflakes of the world

I believe the reporter!

NPR doesn’t lie! They just hedge the truth a bit!

😭😭😭😭

This headline is misleading. It should read 'SecPompeo lies about interview and embarrasses the USA with foul language to a well respected journalist.'

Impeach and remove Pompeo

SecPompeo has numerously, blatently lied to reporters! He's numerously and blatently, been rude to reporters! His basic response, when he doesn't like the question, is arrogance! First Amendment, freedom of press!l Like it or not! She has a Master's in European History! YOU LIE!

.SecPompeo is a baby. He has been caught in so much shit his reputation is toast. He will go down as the most corrupt SofS in history. Pompeo will need independent voters for future office and this one will never vote for this man. Hates women smarter than him, which is most.

Ukraine is a trigger word for Pompeo.

All journalists covering the Trump administration need to borrow a page from NPRKelly. That’s how you hold the corrupt accountable.

Not surprising you are all Liberal Hacks

His pants have on fire for a while....

Liar Pompeo

RESIGN TRAITOR.

Liar says what....

Narrator: No, she didn’t.

No surprise Trump-in-Waiting would say this. Learning lying from the best.
