Mike Pompeo ridiculed as the 'Secretary of White Male Fragility'

Published 1 min ago on March 7, 2020
By Bob Brigham

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) received widespread praise during her 2020 presidential bid for how she worked to convince young girls that it was natural for a female to run for president.

Warren would tell the young girl that she is running for president “because that’s what girls do” — and would then ask for a pinky-swear that the lesson had been learned.

Secretary of State Mike Pence — who works for the 45th man to serve as president — on Saturday appeared to be mocking Warren’s lesson.

....that it is incomprehensible. I felt stupid. So please tell me exactly what is going on and who called Sec of State Pompeo "fragile." Because Mike Pence is not the Secretary of State, among other things.
