(snip)During an interview with NPR’s Mary Louise Kelly that aired Friday, Pompeo refused to say whether he owed an apology to Yovanovitch, whose firing has featured prominently in President Trump’s impeachment inquiry. An aide ended the interview after Kelly pressed Pompeo for a response.
Kelly recounted what happened next in a report that accompanied her interview. She said a staffer brought her to Pompeo's private sitting room, where he was waiting for her. Even though she was not allowed to bring her recording equipment into the room, she said there was no request that she keep the exchange off the record, and she would not have agreed to a conversation if it was off the record.
"He shouted at me for about the same amount of time as the interview itself had lasted," Kelly reported.
"He asked me, 'Do you think Americans care about Ukraine?' " she continued. "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. I pointed to Ukraine; he put the map away. He said, 'People will hear about this.' "
Kelly said Pompeo was not "not happy to have been questioned about Ukraine," though during the recorded interview, she told Pompeo she cleared the topics of Ukraine and Iran with his aides beforehand.
In a statement released early Saturday, Pompeo confirmed that a conversation had taken place after the interview. But he accused Kelly of having “lied to me, twice,” first in setting up the terms of the interview and then again in agreeing to keeping the “post-interview conversation” off the record.

She is full of shiff.
I don’t watch CNN. But if I did, and that whiny thing showed up on the screen, she can be sure I’d be cursing her worse than anything she can imagine Pompeo said. Probably millions of other Americans would be cursing at her on-screen self, too!
Bless her cryin’ heart.
Another “butt hurt” journalist...
I can look at this photo, and tell she is a know it all that is very angry at the world and is real miserable woman.
Most likely she was drop kicked to the curb by a guy who would not put up with her f*cked up view of life.
Finally you can tell this mental case takes herself way too seriously.
She thought Bangladesh was the Ukraine. I guess haughty looks don’t equal intelligence.
Someone ought to tell her that men who graduate at the very top of their class at West Point do not use the language she claims.
Nice try, “Ms. Reporter”, but I trust Pompeo’s integrity way more than yours.
Where did you go to school by the way?
Do you know what it takes to graduate at the top of your West Point class? You should be ashamed of yourself for putting this nonsense out, and expecting us to believe it.
“I say again” as a mother of a West Point graduate. Shame on you!
What’s that arm band thing?
Yet she can't handle Pompeo's critic of her! Hogwash! She's an resistnce/anti-Trumper and her comments and actions reflect this....and She's no spring chicken so she should have broader shoulders....all she wanted was a story she could slam this administration with....
Her two chest “brains” could not find Ukraine.
She asked a really stupid question....
Kelly asked Pompeo whether he owed former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine, Marie Yovanovitch, an apology for failing to defend Yovanovitch against attacks by Trump, Rudy Giuliani, and others.
All those buracrats think they set policy...they don’t....and Marie Yovanovitch is a bad egg to begin with.
I love it when our guys put these arrogant elitist reporters in their place....and Kelly’s one of them!
So what? Most chicks of her ilk have filthy mouths and talk like sailors.
I heard the clip. She is total punk. He should of said” I an sorry you are confused how this works. Any Ambassador works for at the pleasure of the President of the USA.” This false narrative the Democrats have been pushing that the Ukrainian Ambassador was unjustly fired is just that, false.
The only sympathy I have for this attention whore can be found in any dictionary, right between the slang word for human excrement (start's with the letter "s" and has the word hit in it) and Syphilis.
