In a highly unusual move, American diplomats drafted two cables condemning President Trump’s incitement of the U.S. Capitol siege and calling for him to be removed from office. The diplomats say the riot undermines U.S. credibility abroad.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo visits the White House with family members, Friday, Dec. 11, 2020, in Washington.

Using what is known as the State Department’s “dissent channel,” career foreign and civil service officers said they fear last Wednesday’s siege may badly undermine U.S. credibility to promote and defend democratic values abroad. The cables also reflect anger at the response to the riot by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, a loyal Trump ally.

Yeah but droning is fine. 👍

This news report is not factual!!!! Trump did not speak until AFTER the riot started!!!!

Absolutely correct. We have become the world's laughing stock.

Oh wait! Shaking hands with terrorists and praising them and exonerating them of target assassinations and bullying a government and a nation into releasing more than 5000 murderers and making deals with terrorists did not undermine US credibility?

Thank you!!!

pdacosta VP Already acted, the application of the 25th amendment is coming

The RIOT was DO TO RIGGED AND IILLEGAL VOTES BY DEMOCRATS. President Trump had nothing to do with it. That was the PEOPLES ACT. Democrats are RUNNING NAZI/SOCIALISM TAKEOVER and are DOING ANYTHING TO BLAME A PRESIDENT THAT IMPROVED AMERICA AND FOREIGN COUNTRY AFFAIRS.

ITALY RIGGED THE ELECTION

I mean when you trash talk someone for so long, simple people will eventually believe it

I guess this ruins Mike Pompeo’s tweet down memory lane on how great he made America.

'hope tha cables don't get canceled'

Patriots, every one. Now let’s unleash the Dept of State Inspector General without political interference to examine Pompeo and his wife. It will make great reading.

jonfollett 'Insurrection,' or my favorite 'putsch.' Not a riot though, no. Just no ap.'

Where is pompous Pompeo on this? Hiding in shame?

That’s the most ridiculous statement I’ve ever heard! Nothings going to hurt the United States credibility anywhere in the world, we are the envy of the world! Trump not responsible for grown men and women’s actions. Hold each individual person responsible for their own actions!

I can understand that!

When the Secretary of State SecPompeo has to state publicly to the international/national media/press that the United States of America is not a banana republic, you know IT IS a banana republic. ShitShow CapitolRiot CapitolHill CapitolBuilding capitolbreach

The world is laughing at us for the idea that we could actually have elected Joe Biden and Kamala Harris...I wouldn't worry too much about president Trump when every person on earth is gearing up to attack us since we now have no morals or conscience.

WehliyeMohamed Since he cannot be stoned, take him to court.

MrPeabody323 No shit! We lost credibility abroad on November 8, 2016.

Yeah it does...and we knew this in November when he refused to concede

What credibility? America lost lost any credibility it had when it elected Trump

Just hold out and you do the right thing and assure our allies that we will be way more stable and reliable soon!

Quite Interesting; As CHAZ, Minneapolis, Portland or a number of other riot cities (some rioting for months), or even these dips own Shear Stupidity, apparently DID/DOES NOT undermine US credibility. 'Political Morons' Read It! As ONLY ONE website has it:

With sincere gratitude in my heart I’m doing this open testimony so others will know what Mr Chris did for me and they should also join the winning team. chris_grey2

With a name like yours I'm guessing you are Trump supporter

*Domestic terror attack

CREDIBILITY ABROAD? ... WHAT ABOUT THE CREDIBILITY FOR A FRAUDULENT AND STOLEN ELECTION?

Sure it does. It shows that Congress is so far away from what the people care about, that they're worthless. Why talk with people that are so obviously out of touch? It highlights that they've failed. It highlights their corruption.

Time for Mr. Pompeo to decide if he is a diplomat or a politician.

Damn right, it does. And on top, it looks inexplicable to the rest of the world that he remains in place until the handover.

Pompeo has done as much or more damage to U.S diplomacy than any other prior secretary. He is so cruel & so opposite to what Jesus preaches. Bc of him humans dying for lack of money for food & medicines. Does it matter whether they Muslims or Communists? God loves all!

AdamWeinstein Listen to them

Imagine having such incompetent people as your bosses.

USA never had credibility abroad or inside its own shores. Everything about America is a fake.

WhiteHouse FoxNews TYT

Election fraud is federal time... Rule of law or mob rule....No justice no peace!!

Would someone please sue Mike Pence. He is serving Trump and not the country. He needs to discharge his duty by invoking the 25th amendment now... Or we sue him. Pence needs to play out the message of the fly that landed on his forehead.

Didmthemtop,diplomat on the photo signed it too or did he verbally, support it?

They should be fired!!

JoeBiden Security in Capitol delete your credibility abroad not else. President -elect with radical left votes now for peace in US You must find agreement with Republicans. Like China BigTechCensorship (but giving voice to Jihadist Terrorists)and impeachment will not unite US

Where did pompeo disappear to? His days are numbered. This is his chance to “redeem” himself. But he’s too much of a coward.

But do we really expect SecPompeo to do the right thing for the country? I think he is too fixated on 2014 ambitions. He will never support the 25th A.

American diplomats understand the damage Trump has done to US reputation abroad. It will take years to repair if at all possible?

The word ‘abroad’ is unnecessary

But, I thought there was no deep state? Oh!

How sad, as we watch from other parts of the world, that the seat of western Democracy has been threatened and undermined by the ego and lies of one man and his lackeys.

Come at this tyrant from all angels. He's a threat to our democracy and to our very lives. REMOVE HIM
