Democratic senators send letter to Pompeo condemning 'insulting' behavior toward NPR reporter
Washington Examiner ^ | January 25, 2020 | Mike Brest

The letter, which was signed by ranking committee member Bob Menendez of New Jersey and Sens. Cory Booker of New Jersey, Tim Kaine of Virginia, Ed Markey of Massachusetts, and Jeff Merkley of Oregon, began with them expressing their "profound disappointment and concern" surrounding his response to Kelly.

They also referenced journalists who are imprisoned or have been killed for their reporting and said his "insulting and contemptuous comments are beneath the office of the Secretary of State."

I’m sure Pompeo will be losing sleep over this.

Not.

The Legacy Media have been the power behind in the United States for at least 5 decades.

No ruling elite gives up power easily.

The politicians are only doing what their masters in the Media demand.

“They also referenced journalists who are imprisoned or have been killed for their reporting” : Their attempt draw corollaries between the horrific deaths or circumstances of other journalists and the few harsh words he had with her only defeats their position really. He didn’t imprison her or kill her or in anyway threaten her freedom or physical person. The left seem to do this sort of stuff regularly and the low thinking voter buys it but “the times they are a changing!”

The Dems are easily triggered and outraged. BTW, why are we still publicly funding NPR?

Reporters are some of the most intrusive, rude and twisted people walking the face of the earth.....who see themselves as a “Protected class”.

Truly bad when reporters make themselves the story of the hour as they’re doing more and more.

Watch this will turn out to be an orchestrated hit on pompeo. Read the article she has no evidence this happened. then go to the comments and notice how the posters are talking up her credibility in the first couple posts. The whole story is slanted. Some one should tell this whore their happless hit pieces and clusmy propaganda is havening the direct opposite effect than intended. The whole thing is lazy formulaic and thus far sloppy executed. Go Mike go!

That also assumes that Pompeo did what she alleged. There are few journalists whose word I would automatically accept as true.
