‘Language of a Rapist’: Trump Blasted for Telling Pompeo He ‘Did a Good Job On’ NPR Reporter He Attacked and Lied About

President Donald Trump is under fire after praising his Secretary of State for attacking, smearing, and then lying about a veteran NPR reporter last week.

“I think you did a good job on her,” Trump told Mike Pompeo during a White House event Tuesday held to unveil his new Middle East peace plan. Many in the room, including Ivanka Trump, who has positioned herself as a women’s activist, laughed and clapped.

On social media the president’s words are being compared to those of bullies and rapists.

One journalist said: “It is what so many women recognize as language that accompanies assault. When men back each other up regardless of the facts.”

I’m Palestinian, and the statement that gave me chills today was “You did a good job on her.”

That is utterly terrifying so-called “locker room talk.”

Pompeo attacked NPR’s Mary Louise Kelly, claiming she had agreed his remarks on Ukraine would be off-the-record, which she did not. Subsequently revealed emails prove Pompeo was lying or misinformed.

But the Secretary of State did not only have a disagreement with a reporter. After the interview he forced her to identify Ukraine on an unmarked map. He then issued a scathing press release on State Dept. letterhead falsely claiming she had lied to him twice and falsely suggesting she had identified Bangladesh instead of Ukraine.

Kelly hold a masters from Cambridge in European Studies and has been a State Dept. reporter for two decades.

Here’s what many are saying:

"Did a good job on her"
"Get rid of her."
"Take her out.
"She's going to go through some things."
"Nasty woman."

One way the country's divided, Ivanka:
Donald Trump vs. Women (except you of course)

Of course he praises Pompeo, weak little bullies who are afraid of being challenged understand each-other pretty well.
Here, folks, we see yet another sign of the descent into authoritarianism. Is this the direction we want to continue going? https://t.co/hjlnsMRZ1f

This room full of old white men applauds a serial rapist/assaulter/misogynist/fraud. I’m sure Pompeo did a good job on her – just like he’s doing on our country. https://t.co/EmHqBykHUp

“Did a good job on her.”

The language of a serial rapist.

“I think you did a good job on her” is the motto of patriarchy.

It’s one of the most honest things ever said by Trump – who has been accused by more than a dozen women of sexual assault.

Daddy is so NOT presidential!@IvankaTrump this is what divides the country. The only people that find this behavior funny are misogynist pigs like @realDonaldTrump .

#Trump tells “chuckling” Pompeo about NPR reporter confrontation: “I think you did a good job on her, actually.” This goes in his jail journal along w/ “take her out” about Ambassador Yovanovitch & “grab them by the pu^*^y” comment about being famous. misogynist perv in our #WH
