Khashoggi's widow tells Pompeo to 'STFU' after he scorns 'faux outrage' over slaying

Khashoggi’s widow tells Pompeo to ‘shut up the lies’ after he scorns ‘faux outrage’ over slaying

The widow of slain journalist Jamal Khashoggi on Monday responded to former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo who in his new book dismissed what he called “faux outrage” surrounding her husband’s death.

In an interview with NBC News, Hanan Elatr said she is committed “to silence all of these people who publish books, disparage my husband and collect money from it.”

“Whatever he [Pompeo] mentions about my husband, he doesn’t know my husband. He should be silent and shut up the lies about my husband,” she said. “It is such bad information and the wrong information. … This is not acceptable.”

Pompeo, a potential 2024 presidential candidate, wrote about Elatr’s husband in his new book titled “Never Give an Inch: Fighting for the America I Love,” slated to be released on Tuesday.

Might be his money, might be some other neo-con d-bag. Either way, it's money down the drain.

dinner parties to impress his rich friends. I don't think there's a bigger phony or more corrupt man and wife than the Pompeo's, but I could be wrong.
