Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Wednesday said the GOP needs a leader who doesn’t claim “victimhood” in an apparent jab at former President Trump, who repeatedly referred to himself as a “victim” during his Tuesday night speech announcing his run for president in 2024.
“We need more seriousness, less noise, and leaders who are looking forward, not staring in the rearview mirror claiming victimhood,” Pompeo wrote on Twitter.
Though Pompeo didn’t mention the former president by name, but his comments came hours after Trump’s speech.
“I’m a victim, I will tell you. I’m a victim,” Trump at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Fla.
Trump made the much-anticipated announcement that he would make a third run for the White House just a week after the Republican Party’s disappointing midterm results.
The GOP’s hoped-for “red wave” failed to materialize, and Democrats were able to hold on to control of the U.S. Senate.

The rinocrats are perfectly happy to either destroy The GOP or control it. They are practically begging for the creation of another party to replace them. It’s obvious at this point that most Americans no longer have any political representation in Washington.
*** Is Pompeo a Bushie? ***
I have no idea if he’s a Bushie or just lacking in virtue or morals. His Kansas speech years ago alluding to helping God bring about Armageddon was enough for me.
Since then, his plotting to assassinate Julian Assange, his speech at TX A&M, plus his other words, and actions have added to my contempt.
Such a disappointment Pompeo’s turned out to be. I sure thought better of him.
I suspect Pompeo is aiming to be VP to DeSantis, so he’s trying to prove his bonafides as a hatchet man.
Like Trump was loyal to DeSantis??? You cultists need to just drink to kool-aid already or shut up with your hypocrisy.
He did nothing that we know of, because if he had, I'm sure he would have been bragging about it. He wants to run for President, yet hasn't been actively involved in these midterm elections? He's either just another opportunist, or he's deliberately running to try to take votes away from Trump. His attacking Trump tells me it's the second reason.
Holy #, Pompeo — you’ve got to be kidding... Have you had your head up your ars for the last 6 years? You’d be squealing like a pig if you experienced 1/10th the harassment.
Sure Pompousass, no fake impeachment, no subpoenas for taxes which is illegal, no raids on his home, etc.
What a maroon.
I think we should re-label the media, “EnemaMedia” they’re so full of it.
Flip the narrative!
Make Pompeo affirmatively PROVE the 2020 election was honest.
"43,000"
Pompeo is the new Cheney
I’ve lost a lot of respect for Pompeo or anyone that was a part of Trump’s team in 2016 who is now pulling out the long knives. Pompeo would be Pompeo-who? if it wasn’t for Trump. Zero loyalty to Trump. FU pompeo
I believe the little peckerhead was over 30.00% before he clutched
his pearls and dropped out. It would probably have grown from there.
Maybe your memory is more accurate than mine.
Trump is the most persecuted person in this nation, ever.To which we should all cry out to our system - SHAME!!!!
He is a victim but most of all he is a proven winner. In the face of huge obstacles, Trump led this nation to the most successful four years in history. When it comes to governing, he is a proven winner. How can anyone count him out.
Right - but Weaver hitting on Pence? Probably missing the back story in this deal. Isn't Pence a bit long in the tooth [if nothing else] for a rich pedo like Weaver?
I like this guy. Mittens has been too much of a puss to replace McCain. Pompeo has that same McCain stench about him.
I wonder what the former CIA director has in mind for Trump?
Pompeo needs to endorse Trump and say he would be SoS again to finish what they were doing.
Trump is running, so it’s Trump or no one.
pompy, dead to me.
Pompeo obviously hasn’t watched the news… voter integrity is one of the big issues of the present… idiot.
MAGA and patriotic Americans are the victims as well as our children and childrens children. The truth will set you free.
