Rep. Gregory Meeks (D-N.Y.) attempted to impugn and embarrass Secretary of State Mike Pompeo over what Meeks claimed was a lack of concern for diplomatic security on the secretary’s part. And who did Meeks hold up as an exemplar of the post that Pompeo might try to emulate? None other than Hillary “I Kept Confidential Data on a Private Server in My Bathroom” Clinton.

Pompeo wasted not an instant in slapping down the entitled swamp rat who has been riding the beltway gravy train for twenty years.

From The Washington Free Beacon:

Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?

Pompeo was testifying before the House Foreign Affairs Committee on a range of topics when Meeks brought up the issue of diplomatic security, which includes protecting American diplomatic personnel and information.

Meeks first chastised Pompeo for not being courteous as a member of Congress to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton when she testified before the House Select Committee on Benghazi in 2015. The New York Democrat said that Pompeo criticized Clinton at the time for not prioritizing diplomatic security, before accusing the current secretary of state of not caring about the issue himself, noting that he did not mention it during his confirmation hearing or on Wednesday.

Meeks’s arrogance and ignorance know no end! At this point I wish Pompeo had simply stared Meeks down and uttered the one word Benghazi.
