Robert F. Kennedy Jr. revealed in a recent interview that former CIA director Mike Pompeo gave him a damning assessment of the leadership of the agency he headed in 2017-2018.

Interviewed by Tucker Carlson, the conservative pundit fired from Fox who now holds forth on X/Twitter, Kennedy said he spoke with Pompeo at a dinner earlier this summer where Pompeo looked him in the eye and proclaimed:

“The entire upper echelon of that agency is made up of individuals who do not believe in the democratic institutions of the United States of America.”

“That’s a quote,” Kennedy added.

Kennedy wouldn’t name who else attended he dinner with him and Pompeo, saying “the rest of the group makes the story even weirder.”
