‘Every word is a lie’: Pompeo gets shredded for extremely misleading claims about Trump’s policy in Syria

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.
