Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo suggested President Joe Biden was to blame for Russian President Vladimir Putin‘s invasion of Ukraine during his Friday morning appearance at the Conservative Political Action Conference.
‘We’ve seen a Russian dictator now terrorize the Ukrainian people because America didn’t demonstrate the resolve that we did for the four years prior,’ said Pompeo, who was former President Donald Trump‘s CIA Director before heading State.
He bragged that the previous administration was more adept than the current one.
‘I remember too, I remember we were the barbarians, we were the rubes, we didn’t know what we doing,’ he told the crowd. ‘Pretty competent now.’
‘I say that not in joy, but in sorrow, because America demands good leadership and the world is depending upon it,’ he continued.
