Chris Stewart: Mike Pompeo Is a ‘Terrific Choice’ for Sec. of State

‘He has something that I think is very important and that is a personal dynamic with the president’

RUSH EXCERPT:

STEWART: "I think it’s actually quite important. My only criticism of Mike who’s a close friend. He was an Army officer. I was Air Force, so other than that he’s a terrific choice. He has something that I think is very important and that is a personal dynamic with the president and for whatever reason, Secretary Tillerson didn’t quite have that. I sat with Secretary Tillerson. He’s one of the smartest men I’ve ever met and strongest leader. I had breakfast with him not long ago and I said I hope you’ll stay but I think Mike is an excellent choice to replace him."
