Former U.S. Secretary Of State Is Proudly Praising Putin

[yeahiamtalkingtuhupunk]

This is how they are: Big flag behind them as they root for our enemies.

[marcusaurelius]

This was a US military graduate. What a world we live in.

[bwyou]

Looks like Mike Pompeo stopped his emotional eating since he left office under Trump.

[danrion]

Party of Lincoln goes straight down the toilet of Trump along with documents.

[gregbright]

He need the Russian flag behind him .not the USA flag

[garethjames]

I expected it from Trump, after all Putin has the dirt on him, but all of the GOP now praising Putin?
What does Putin have on Pompeo?
I think we should be told

[merrilouneigenfind]

What a shock that Trump's Secretary of State is praising Putin. Not.

[Ladibug]

Don’t act startled😂😂we have and have had traitors, opportunist and corrupt people RUNNING OUR GOVERNMENT🤡

[edwardpincus]

"we may disagree.., " Pompeo, with Putin?Disagree?
Pompeo, how moderate of you to 'disagree' with someone who murders his political enemies.
Your ming is broken.

[billlynch]

Pompeo is a complete disgrace to anyone that graduated West Point!

[maryjanehaley]

That's why he's a FORMER and not in now he is a nobody

[WinstonBartholomewIII]

Well Trump supporters were wearing t-shirts that said I would rather be a Russian than a Democrat kind of tells you everything.

[Avedis-G]

Our grandfathers are rolling in their graves. This might be one of the saddest things I’ve seen.

[douglasmennella]

Less serious, Pompeo has clearly had his stomach stapled.

[donnielaces]

Hmmm. Never thought I'd see the day where our greatest enemies are getting praised by our leaders.

[DavidJ]

Pompeo is the 4th LittlePig, who ate the 3 LittlePigs, and then made up a story about a big bad wolf.

[andykeen]

This was THE most derelict Secretary of State we've ever had. Just like POTUS 45.

[kbone]

To keep it strategically SIMPLE, I will vote AGAINST each and every single candidate that has NOT openly denounced the Trump movement. That said, I will vote FOR any person who has the GREATEST CHANCE of defeating that candidate. This is an all out battle at the ballot box for our country in its existential threat from autocratic rule by insane people with zero heart and soul. I recommend you do the same.

[susanford]

Regarding Pompeo & Trump would they feel the same way about Putin if Putin decided to reclaim Alaska? As Alaska was once part of Russia just like the Ukraine.

[brianmoore]

That's right boys and girls. It's time for another game of "Could you imagine if Obama would have said this"?
