Oh my god.... he doesn't realize that he immediately contradicts himself? I almost feel sorry for him.

"wait ... what?" everyone's mind after watching this one minute summary ...

[downwiththehypocrisy]

If this is who we're up against, I can sleep easy now.

Pompeo: "The best experts so far seem to think it was man-made. I have no reason to disbelieve that."
Anchor: "But the scientific consensus says it is not man-made or genetically modified"
Pompeo: "That's right. I agree with that." (my head exploded)
Anchor: "So just to be clear. You do not think it is man-made or genetically modified."
Pompeo: "I have no reason to believe that they got it wrong." (my head exploded, again)

[stoplookingatmeplease]

I have no problems to believe that it was man-made. So you think it's man-made?
No I absolutely agree that it isn't man made.

Politicians are jokes at this point, they can tell the most ridiculous lies with the straightest faces. It's impressively disgusting to say at least.

[howso]

Pompeo is a joke, He even did not know what he is talking about, lol

[RicoJazz]

Says something then says the opposite like it's no big deal. This is a gaslighting technique, meant to confuse the victims.

This man is one evil dude and Novartis Swiss labs created this

[rolandolau]

His kids must be totally confused every day and night. Can’t imagine how functional is the family, feel really sorry for them.

[chychy]

I seen this live and was like wait a minute.... So did he just say it was man made and try to cover it up? Or is he just And making shit up as he goes along?

[Robert_St-Preux]

Experts say not man-made, a religious kook says it was. I'll go with...the experts, thank you.

[skyfordTj]

Sounds like this guy is “man-made” but shipped with some bugs

[TsingHuaPupil]

Cannot believe what I see.

0:06 Pompeo: the best experts so far think it was man-made. I have NO reason to disbelieve that at this point
0:12 Host: your office of the DNI says the scientific consensus was not man-made or genetically modified.
0:21 Pompeo: that's right. I AGREE with that. Yeah. I've seen their analysis. I've seen the summary that you saw that was released publicly. I have no reason to doubt that that is accurate at this point.
0:31 Host: ok... just to be clear. You do NOT think it was man-made or genetically modified?
0.35 Pompeo: I've seen what the intelligence committee has said. I have NO reason to believe that they've got it wrong.

[gailbolton]

Well, that was certainly equivocal! I had no idea I was supposed to be so incredibly stupid that I wouldn't notice how ridiculous his statement is/was.

[elwynny]

look how sad youtube is, you got only a little over 10, 000 viewing this video and hundreds of thousands yelling all hail Pompeo under Fox news.

[dustinc.kingyuan]

I’m happy to see that USA has such a good secretary. Let’s make China great again lol

[DG-bbks]
