January 28, 2020 - Warren Weighs in On Pompeo Treatment of Woman Reporter


In an interview with Warren on MSNBC, host Lawrence O’Donnell plays a clip of Trump telling Secretary of State Pompeo that Pompeo’s attack on NPR’s Mary Louise Kelly (in which he berated her for asking questions about Ukraine and challenged her to point to Ukraine on a map) was “impressive.” Warren responds, “It’s wrong for the people in the room to say, ‘yeah, boy, screaming at a woman who was trying to do her job — you really showed what a tough guy you are.'” Warren challenges this type of display of masculinity as something to be celebrated in high-level political leadership.
