Ted Lieu just asked Pompeo if he thought, as Mulvaney said, that the coronavirus was ' the hoax ". Pompeo refused to answer!

1. He should have asked if Trump could cure it, he would have said yes.

2. I love Ted Lieu. He's close to fearless. nt

3. Rep Lieu to Pompeo: Going to CPAC but can't find more than 2 hrs to spend here? Shameful.

6. Pompeo

is a greasy, smirking POS.

[HuskyOffset]

9. His is a face that is criminally devoid of slaps (NT)

4. Holy crap! What a fucking idiot.

I watched every Dem take him down and he just laughed smugly.

5. Because he's been globetrotting at our expense

trying to undermine all resistance to the caliphate of wealth taking over and making the planet one big slave market.

7. Pompeo is such a pathetic sycophant.

[gratuitous]

8. Pompeo doesn't dare answer such a loaded question

The Trump administration might need the "it's all a big hoax" excuse somewhere down the line (and that right soon), and Pompeo would gargle sulfuric acid before he'd concede that Covid 19 is a real public health issue and not a hoax.

10. A West Point graduate, eh?

Think he skipped all the classes dealing with respect, honor and honesty...all 4 years he was there?!!!

11. Lieu is superb

12. Lieu has very limited time to question this asshole

I wish he wouldn't waste it on snark that Pompeo can wave off as unserious.

[Midnight Writer]

13. I'm afraid Pompeo will wave off anything and everything. There are no longer limits on these people.

[maxsolomon]

15. Also true.

I'd be striving to box him on factual matters, but he can weasel out of anything with the "Classified Information" fallback.

[Midnight Writer]

16. Or he simply smirks. It is the old "Honeybadger don't give a shit" mentality.

He is untouchable and he knows it.

[bluestarone]

14. I would ask him if he would go visit

The lady in Sacramento? How i hate these motherfuckers!
