Pompeo's brash persona, on full display in his final month of tweets, can best be seen as a calculated way to position himself as Trump’s heir in the 2024 GOP primaries. In a Sunday interview on New York AM WABC 770 radio’s The Cats Roundtable, former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo ripped President Joe Biden’s weakness and lack of resolve.
Once a sharp Trump critic, the nation's top diplomat fully embraced his boss's bombast. Pompeo: Biden ‘Weakness’ Led to Putin Invasion of Ukraine Says Sitting at the Table with Iran, Russia ‘Incomprehensible’. In one of his tweets, he uses the old biblical names of Judea and Samaria to refer to the West Bank, adopting the language of the settlers.ĭuring his tenure, he courted Christian evangelicals - a huge Republican constituency - and delivered political speeches while on the State Department dime. He declared that Jewish settlements in the West Bank were not illegal, contrary to the position taken by most countries, and became the first secretary of state to visit one. Pompeo reversed decades of norms by recognizing the disputed city of Jerusalem as Israel's capital and the Golan Heights, captured from Syria, as Israel territory. That has included his policies in the Middle East, where the administration sided overtly with Israel at the expense of the Palestinians. Contrasting his actions with theirs seemed to be the way Pompeo measured his success.
