Sen. Todd Young: Pompeo Earned the Support

‘At least in some instances, this is political’

EXCERPT:

YOUNG: "I mean, Mike Pompeo is someone who I personally know. I served with him for six years in the U.S. House of Representatives. He’s incredibly intelligent, finishing first in his class at West Point. He’s proven himself not just in the House of Representatives as a subject matter expert in this area, but he’s earned the confidence and the support of the president of the United States very important if you’re going to be the chief diplomat of our government. He’s also earned the respect of foreign leaders, friend and foe alike, because he’s had to deal with them. And by all accounts that I hear, he’s done quite well within the Central Intelligence Agency. He earned the support of 90 of my colleagues and as he was being voted into his particular position."
