"He used the F word in that sentence, and many others. He asked if I could find Ukraine on a map I said yes. He called out for his aides to bring him a map of the world with no writing, no countries marked," Kelly said. "I pointed to Ukraine," she said. "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." | https://twitter.com/NPRKelly/status/1220852249502650368

You ask a person with the credentials above to point to a country on a map? What the actual fuck? Then say people will hear about this? No shit she’s a journalist in a meeting that wasn’t off the record and recorded. Incompetent. Mary Louise Kelly is one hell of a journalist to choose to pull this shit on. Previously, she spent a decade as national security correspondent for NPR News, and she's kept that focus in her role as anchor. That's meant taking All Things Considered to Russia, North Korea, and beyond (including live coverage from Helsinki, for the infamous Trump-Putin summit). Her past reporting has tracked the CIA and other spy agencies, terrorism, wars, and rising nuclear powers....in addition to her experience as a war correspondent, she has a Master's in European studies from Cambridge. Keep it classy Pompeo. I'm stunned by the incompetence. He doesn't even know who he's talking to. He can't even manage a simple interview with a mainstream American journalist - so poorly prepared he doesn't have the most basic background info on who he is talking to. It's straight-up terrifying that this shitstain and his team are representing the US, meeting all sorts of world leaders and warl/rds. If Mary (edit) Louise Kelly can stand in the middle of millions of Iranians and interview them after the Soleimani assassination....sorry Mike Pomeo...you are outclassed. This woman will eat your fuckin’ lunch. And she did.



Pompeo: "Can you point out Ukraine on a map?"
Kelley: "Yes."
pulls out map
Pompeo: "Point to it."
Kelley: "Right here."
Pompeo: "So that's where it is."
