Senators who accuse President Trump of “treason” over his comportment following his summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin “have become political hacks,” the nation’s top diplomat suggested Monday.

“I actually looked back at some of the senators’ statements when Obama was — the president was Barack Obama,” Secretary of State Mike Pompeo told the Christian Broadcasting Network. “They were talking about the need for important and good relationship between somehow — somehow they have either changed their mind or they’ve become pure political hacks. I suspect it’s the latter and not the former.”

“This administration has been incredibly tough on Russia,” he also maintained. “We’re proud of that, and I’m confident we’ll have to continue to do so as there is still Russian behavior that is inconsistent with a good relationship between our two countries.”

Maxine Waters would have to graduate a few levels to even reach political hack status. She’s just a BIG mouth without a brain.

Only one US president has ever ordered US cybersecurity to stand down on Russian attacks.

Obama

Woo, tough talk! :barf:

Can you name an administration who's attacked back at all the leftist, deceitful media, corrupt politicians, globalist and deep state, more than the Trump administration?

Or are you just tough talking?

Thanks. That was irritating.

No President in my memory has ever told Iran if “you threaten” us again, rods from God will be delivered to your prayer rugs.

And he wouldn’t say that if he didn’t have Mattis’ backing. We are dismantling the axis of evil thanks to this President and his Cabinet.

The Trump/Pompeo team has gotten a lot of things moving in the right direction for America.

Pompeo is a diplomat while Trump is an up front negotiator. Good team and I am so glad we have them working for us!

Agreed. This Pompeo guy is all over the globe, juggling lots of different big projects... and he seems to be doing it with ease. And, the best part is, he seems to be very in-sync with the president. I hope he doesn't burn out too fast.
