Just now: Sec’y of State Mike Pompeo addresses @VOANews about “promoting democratic freedoms around the world.” Takes questions only from politically appointed director, ignores shouted questions from VOA journalists in room. At which point VOA cuts off live stream of his talk.

IOW, acts just like a tinpot dictator in a banana republic.

Reuters:

“Secretary of State Mike Pompeo cancelled his Europe trip at the last minute on Tuesday after Luxembourg's foreign minister and top European Union officials declined to meet him, European diplomats and other people familiar with the matter said”

Pompeo, Who Led Trump’s Mission at State Dept., Leaves With a Dubious Legacy
As Secretary of State Mike Pompeo looks to his political future, his turbulent tenure is characterized by investigations into his leadership and ethics.

Mike Pompeo has been regarded by some analysts as the worst secretary of state in American history, a distinction that will haunt him as he considers running for another elected office.

I know it’s a small thing in the context of everything else but multiculturalism is the reason we no longer ban people with names like “Pompeo” from coming here

In June, weeks after Trump fired the State Dept's inspector general Steve Linick (at Pompeo's request) during the IG purge, the Trump admin accused Linick of misconduct. The IG Council investigated & on 12/29 found that accusation false/concocted, per this https://ignet.gov/sites/default/file...12-29-2020.pdf

Pompeo very likely belongs behind bars for his misdeeds.
