In response, a State Department spokesperson defended Pompeo's record: “The State Department’s swagger is fully back.”
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has a tongue-lashing coming his way from Democrats.
The report, written by the Democratic staff on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, is titled “Diplomacy in Crisis: The Trump Administration’s Decimation of the State Department.”, it examines “senior-level vacancies plaguing the State Department, repeated nominee vetting failures, and attacks on career employees” that Democrats say have harmed morale among diplomatic staff and ultimately damaged US foreign policy.
“From day one, Secretary Pompeo has delivered on advancing the interests and values of the American people both here at home and around the world,” the spokesperson said. “At the core of this success is the dynamic and talented team that forges ahead each and every day with one mission, and toward one future.”
