(The Guardian) "We put America first every single day" - Pompeo
Mike Pompeo is addressing the convention and giving a relatively normal speech, pumping up his highlights of Donald Trump’s administration, in which he served, and Joe Biden and his current administration that came after.
Under Trump “we put America first every single day,” he said, listing the lack of major new wars, anti-migration policies and “destroying ISIS”.
Pompeo talked of Afghanistan and said he was “disgusted by the incompetent pull-out from that country” by US troops under Biden in the first summer after the Democrat became president.
A US State Department report last year criticized both the Trump and Biden administrations over the withdrawal and there’s been a lot of blame to go around. But the final evacuation under Biden in August 2021, as Kabul quickly fell to the Taliban, has been roundly criticized by military as well as political leaders.
Pompeo then joked that Biden only “shuffles” across the global stage, amid a crisis in the president’s re-election campaign over his age and acuity.
