Sec. of State Pompeo Fires Back After Being Called a ‘Heat-Seeking Missile for Trump’s A**’

‘I find [that] language offensive, and I find the statement ludicrous’

EXCERPT:

KING: "You have a lot of support, Mr. Secretary. They say the State Department morale is better under your watch. People feel good about what they do, but you’ve got critics. One former American ambassador who shall not be named, this is delicate, describes you like a heat-seeking missile for Trump’s bottom — except he used the other word. When you hear stuff like that, to compare how you are with this president, what do you think?"
POMPEO: "I find that language offensive, and I find the statement ludicrous. I work hard. I work hard for the President of the United States, who was constitutionally elected. He is my leader. My task is to share with him the best information. If we disagree, my duty is to go share the disagreements. I do that with great frequency. But when he makes a decision and it's legal, it is my task to execute his decision with all the energy and the power that I have."
