Remember Benghazi? The same Mike Pompeo who is now Secretary of State scolded then Secretary of State Clinton for not taking diplomatic security seriously
Quote:Secretary of State Mike Pompeo was grilled about funding for diplomatic security while testifying before the House Foreign Affairs Committee on Wednesday morning. Rep. Gregory Meeks (D-N.Y.) confronted Pompeo during the hearing about the decrease in spending on diplomatic security under the Trump administration. “Under the Obama Administration, over $3 billion went to diplomatic security, but once President Trump came in, I see it went to down $2.1 billion ... and down to $1.6 billion,” Meeks stated...Dem lawmaker confronts Pompeo over spending cuts to diplomatic security | TheHill
Meeks later called Pompeo a hypocrite for saying Hillary Clinton failed on diplomatic security as secretary of State but not focusing on it now that he is in that position. “You didn’t give her any courtesy when Secretary Hillary Clinton was sitting in her seat before the Benghazi Committee and you scolded her. You went after her with venom,” Meeks said to Pompeo, adding that he hasn't heard him mention diplomatic security "one single time."
