The coda to @NPRKelly's interview with @SecPompeo is shocking. As described on @npratc: He screamed, swore at her, and said she couldn't find Ukraine on a map. He ordered staffers to bring a blank map. She pointed to Ukraine and thanked him for his time.

For the record, this colleague of mine is the same @NPRKelly who started the week anchoring 14 hours of live impeachment coverage as a solo host. I’m full of awe and gratitude.
What was it @SecPompeo said to @NPRKelly as he was shouting and swearing at her? “People will hear about this?” 
I have so many thoughts about this statement by @SecPompeo. But I think it’s best to let @NPRKelly’s journalism and reputation...and this official statement by the Secretary of State...speak for themselves. Go listen to the interview at the top of this thread if you haven’t yet.
In a statement, @NPR's Senior VP for News @nancycbarnes says, “@NPRKelly has always conducted herself with the utmost integrity, and we stand behind this report.”
May I add- the tone of these two contrasting statements says as much about the people involved as the content.
