Mike Pompeo and singer-songwriter Linda Ronstadt clashed over the Secretary of State's boss during the Kennedy Center Honors State Department dinner Saturday evening.

Pompeo hosted the dinner the night before the Kennedy Center Honors gala at the State Department, which is where the honorees received their awards.

When delivering remarks to the audience at the dinner, Pompeo congratulated Ronstadt, a headliner honoree, and joked about her 1974 hit 'When Will I Be Loved,' asking when he would be loved.

In response, the 73-year-old singer told Pompeo, 'Maybe when you stop enabling Donald Trump.'

Very small of her. No class, graciousness, or appreciation.

In other words, a modern day liberal.

Ronstadts are well-known Democrats in Tucson.

I guess the Lord has a sense of balance.

When he gave her a spectacularly beautiful voice, in return he apparently took away most of her intelligence.

[TADSLOS]

Linda Ronstadt has been in relationships with Aaron Neville (1989 - 1992), George Lucas (1984), Jim Carrey (1983), Jerry Brown (1979), Mick Jagger (1977 - 1978), Albert Brooks (1974 - 1976), Steve Martin (1972), JD Souther (1972 - 1974), John Boylan (record producer) (1971) and Bill Murray. There are many more...

All those mattress marks...She should run for Senator in Calimexico.

All of the Eagles?
Oh and anyone named Desperato.

[PGR88]

Is she still a coke-head?

[1Old Pro]

These people are blinded by their hatred, they are sick people.

[Kharis13]

Pompeo should’ve responded, “That’ll be the day”. A nice big eye roll would’ve completed the smack down.

[Daveinyork]

She dances to the beat of a different drum.

[RatRipper]

Pompeo teed her up thinking thinking maybe a leftist had a pinhead of class, decency and intelligence. Predictable response. . . never, ever trust a leftist.

[duckman]

Lack of respect from this bag of poop knows no bounds.

[GSWarrior]

I may be in the minority, but as a songstress she is somewhat overrated. IMHO.

[JerseyDvl]

She used to be hot but now looks like Jabba the Hutt. She should just shut up and go away. It wasn’t even a witty retort.

[1Old Pro]

I may be in the minority, but as a songstress she is somewhat overrated. IMHO.

She is one of 10,000 people who have a nice singing voice. Pence is one of ABOUT 45 people who have ever served as Vice President.

Just what is Trump doing that makes them hate him so? Absolutely nothing! The hate is driven by the media. They have made it “cool” to hate Trump. Linda wants to be one of the cool kids.

Whale, cow are you!

I lost respect for her when they had to lower the keys of her songs in “The Pirates of Penzance”. G & S is easy enough to sing even for a run-of-the-mill Lyric Soprano without having to alter the score.

Stick to what you are good at, Linda. Soft Rock is your genre.

Not Operetta, or Puccini, and DEFINITELY not politics!

“In response, the 73-year-old singer told Pompeo, ‘Maybe when you stop enabling Donald Trump.’”

And then he said: “I reject your quid pro quo.”

linda is a great singer and hot in her heyday, but we march to a different drummer

Apparently Linda misunderstood the phrase from her childhood, “spread your wings and fly” for “spread your legs...”
