Reporter says Pompeo cursed at her after interview, told her to point to Ukraine on a map (LOL)
Washington Post ^ | Brittany Shammas

(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.

An attention whore and a lier. But it’s the compost, so it’s not unexpected.

I think I can see the reasons she was hired. Geopolitical knowledge was not one of them.

“She said a staffer brought her to Pompeo’s private sitting room, where he was waiting for her.”

Babe should be be thankful it wasn’t Secretary of State Harvey Weinstein’s private sitting room.

Nothing else in Pompeo’s job is either unprofessional nor strategically erroneous.

So Mary Kelly makes a, he said, she said story about herself.

And the Washitting Post runs it like it’s somehow relevant
