Mike Pompeo Mocks Predecessor John Kerry About Being Secretary of State: ‘I’m Not in It for the Fancy Dinners’

NATIONAL HARBOR, MD — Secretary of State Mike Pompeo spoke to the attendees of CPAC Friday afternoon. He reported that he had just come from the Oval Office with President Trump.

“Can anyone in this room remember a better time to be an American conservative?” he asked the crowd. “We’re safer than ever, our economy is more prosperous than ever, and President Trump will not stop winning.”

In talking about his job, Pompeo expressed how he really enjoys the work that makes an impact, and not the perks of the job. “I’m not in it for the fancy dinners [in Europe],” he said, before noting, “one of my predecessors went 62 times,” in a not-so-subtle dig at John Kerry.

Then he criticized some of the big mistakes of the previous administration, including the Iran nuclear deal and the Paris climate accords. The point is about “changing behavior, not signing documents,” he said. “If there’s no compliance, if the agreements are flawed, you gotta get out of them.”

To repeat what I said at 18 about Pompeo:

He’s a straight shooter like Trump. And, like Trump, he knows when to use diplomacy and when to call them out. In other words, he’s a real man, a rarity in our political leaders these days.
