Pompousassio Slams Kerry's Talks With Iran as 'Beyond Inappropriate'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

(Bloomberg) -- Secretary of State Michael Pompeo accused his predecessor from the Obama administration of “actively undermining” administration policy for speaking with senior Iranian officials about the U.S. withdrawal from a 2015 nuclear accord.

Former Secretary of State John Kerry’s behavior has been “unprecedented” and “beyond inappropriate,” Pompeo told reporters at the State Department on Friday. The controversy flared as the U.S. pressures countries to stop doing business with the Islamic Republic ahead of new oil sanctions planned for early November.

“This is a former secretary of state engaged with the world’s largest state sponsor of terror and according to him -- Right? You don’t have to take my word for it, these are his answers -- he was telling them to wait out this administration,” Pompeo said. “Actively undermining U.S. policy as a former secretary of state is literally unheard of."

Kerry -- who led talks that resulted in the multinational Iran nuclear deal in 2015 -- said in an earlier interview with Hugh Hewitt that he had met with Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif “three or four times” since January 2017.

4. Amazing he can say "Beyond Inappropriate" w/ a straight face.

That anyone could say that about the behavior of an actual diplomat and not realize how it just sets up the jokes for the late night comics is pretty stupid.

They really live in a bubble of self-importance and total ignorance of the real world.
