Secretary of State Mike Pompeo says he didn’t retaliate against Steve Linick when he asked President Trump to fire him as State Department inspector general — and that New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez is to blame for stoking controversy about the move.
Pompeo accused Menendez, the top Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, during a Wednesday press conference at the State Department.
“This is all coming through the office of Senator Menendez,” Pompeo said. “I don’t get my ethics guidance from a man who was criminally prosecuted — case number 15-155, New Jersey federal district court. A man for whom his Senate colleagues, bipartisan said basically that he was taking bribes. That’s not someone who I look to for ethics guidance.”

“I don’t get my ethics guidance from a man who was criminally prosecuted”

Imagine having to listen to the child molesting Senator Bob Menendez lecture on morality. The people of New Jersey who reelected him deserve anything that befalls them.
Pervert Bob had sex with CHILDREN and got away with it because he’s a Democrat
What a great retort to that disgusting sex tart.
Yep Secretary of State Pompeo is not someone to be messed with. As I understand it he knows how to handle the smartazz media also.
So good to see the Pubs fighting back!!!
Pompeo is not some timid little republicrat, that is for sure.
This is the way you respond folks.... right here.
Dare I say it, it was pure Trump! Trump slammed the door on Danang Dick in the same fashion.
Well, that made an enemy for life. Now it’s personal. Satisfying but not sure politically it was the best move. Other Senators (even the Rs) will probably be unhappy to have one of their own roasted like that.
Pompeo 2024!
“So good to see the Pubs fighting back”
One anyway. Hopefully its contagious
Amen. Need more of this for sure
The first o e to come to Menendez’ side to defend him will be Romney. Just watch.
Bravo! Loved this man from day 1!
“The people of New Jersey who reelected him deserve anything that befalls them.”
Looks like they’re gettin’ it with that fascist governor they have.
In today's insane Leftist activist media world, they will take his side.
Pompeo is one of the stars of this administration without a doubt.
“The first to come to Menendez’ side to defend him will be Romney.”
He’s just waiting for his script to be delivered, and Big Media to call.
(Big Media will know when the script has been delivered, to call)
