This is outrageous — and not the first time, my sources tell me, that @secpompeo has cursed privately at journalists whose questions he did not like. @NPRKelly is a true professional and excellent journalist. https://t.co/MCp3wOSl7C

This is how @SecPompeo spoke to NPR's Mary Louise Kelly. @NPRKelly is an indefatigable reporter and is exquisitely polite and collegial, one of the gems of this business. What boorish and inexcusable behavior. https://t.co/YyWnoBnxwW pic.twitter.com/ZWHklBj8cZ

Pompeo is seen as a leading presidential candidate for 2024. There will likely be many such questions during that campaign. https://t.co/pEEzmpEyrr

Wait, he really … didn't think a national security reporter could find Ukraine on a map? https://t.co/OSFgTCT1I0
