Secretary of State Mike Pompeo faced furious backlash for his defense of President Donald Trump's policy toward Syria.
The State Department tweeted out an interview Pompeo conducted with Nashville's WZTV-TV, where the secretary insisted the U.S. was "leading from the front" and building coalitions to handle Syria and other foreign policy challenges.
But Pompeo's remarks weren't well-received on Twitter, where his claims were dismissed as absolutely false.
