In reply to After interview, Pompeo cursed at reporter, yelled: 'Do you think Americans care about Ukraine?'

Pompeo thinks everyone is, or should be, as dumb and subservient as the Kansas proles who elected him. He also hates assertive women.

Trump's second term goal will be to ramp up attacks to silence intellectuals, and further eviscerate public and private education. While putting immense pressure on non-Fox news media and press to sing paeans to him and his international swamp band of lying gangsters. There will be no one, and no way, to hold him accountable for lawlessness and self aggrandizement.

Maybe one reason Pompeo is

Maybe one reason Pompeo is being such a jerk is that he can't give this answer. "Hey, I ignored the Bully-in-Chief's demands for a year before I finally caved and executed his unjust order to take out Yovanovitch, and now you have the gall to suggest I didn't support her enough?"

NPR CEO tells @NPRMichel that Pompeo behavior went beyond usual tension between reporters and government officials to intimidation.

In reply to Not sure what Kelly's problem

BTW, the news professional that jerkoff Mike Pompeo literally asked to find Ukraine on a map?

Kelly graduated magna cum laude from Harvard University in 1993, with degrees in Government and French Literature. As a senior editor at The Harvard Crimson, she covered the 1992 Presidential election, including Bill Clinton's inauguration.[3]

In 1995 she completed her masters in European Studies at Cambridge University (Emmanuel College) in England.
Career
...After graduate school in Cambridge, England, and internships at the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) in Scotland and London, Kelly joined the Boston team that launched the radio news magazine The World, a joint venture between the BBC and Public Radio International.

The following year, Kelly moved back to the UK, working as a host, foreign correspondent and senior producer for the BBC World Service, and as a producer at CNN in London. Kelly reported from the Afghan-Pakistan border, radical Hamburg mosques, Kosovo refugee camps and the deck of an aircraft carrier. At the BBC, she covered the peace talks that ended decades of violence in Northern Ireland.

In 2001, Kelly returned to the United States to join NPR in Washington. For three years, she edited NPR's evening newsmagazine, All Things Considered. The NPR website described her as a "bad-ass babe on breaking news".[4]

In 2004, Kelly launched NPR's intelligence beat.[2] She reported on spy agencies such as the Central Intelligence Agency, the Defense Intelligence Agency, and the National Security Agency.

In 2005, Kelly became the first reporter to interview Gary Schroen, the CIA operative who was dropped into Afghanistan in the aftermath of the September 11 attacks with a six-man team and a directive to bring back the head of Bin Laden.[5]

In 2006, Kelly broke the news of the CIA's secret decision to disband the unit aimed at hunting Osama Bin Laden.[6] That story caused an uproar and led to the Senate voting on September 8, 2006, to reinstate the unit.

From January 2009 to 2011, Kelly was National Public Radio's senior Pentagon correspondent, reporting on defense and foreign policy issues. As part of NPR's national security team, Kelly covered the Obama administration's approach to the wars in Afghanistan and the Iraq War. She also focused on how the U.S. projected its military power elsewhere in the world; how the U.S. reacted to, and dealt with, the emerging global military muscle of countries such as China; and the way in which U.S. foreign policy goals are often sought, and sometimes achieved, through defense and Intelligence agency channels.[7]

Not sure what Kelly's problem

Not sure what Kelly's problem is - she should be disrobing faced with the manly manliness of Trump's testosterone combat brigade leadership style - how many women would love to be in her place. Sheesh, why did they let women become journalists in the first place. Maybe Sarah Huckabee and Kellyanne could give her some pointers, but I doubt it - probably saw that liberal propaganda movie "Hustlers".

Amazing clip. Pompeo: zip.

@NPRKelly : ‘You use the word pressure...But in that year and a half, Iran has behaved more provocatively, not less. So is maximum pressure working?’
Pompeo: ‘Absolutely working.’ https://t.co/xg3ShyfLBB
