https://www.mediaite.com/tv/former-biden-aide-mocks-trumps-foreign-policy-cross-between-the-three-stooges-and-the-godfather/Former Vice President Joe Biden Chief of Staff Ron Klain mocked President Donald Trumps foreign policy as both inept and corrupt, calling it a cross between The Three Stooges and The Godfather.
Speaking with MSNBC host Nicole Wallace on Deadline: White House, Klain erupted on Trump on a day that the first public testimonies of the impeachment inquiry were released, which reportedly showed State Department officials consulting with Fox News host Sean Hannity about a smear of the former US Ambassador to Ukraine, Marie Yovanovitch.
Read the [former top State Dept. aide Michael] McKinley relationship and you read the Yovanovitch transcript, Klain noted. It looks like American foreign policy has become a cross between The Three Stooges and The Godfather. I mean, its an amazing mix of venal, violent corruption and complete and utter incompetence. Thats a toxic combination when you put it together.
Klain went on to note that, according to the House impeachment testimony of the former Trump administration officials, Secretary [Mike] Pompeo or one of this top aides called Hannity to ask him what US foreign policy messaging was on Ukraine. Hannity has denied ever speaking directly with Pompeo about this.

I love hearing people speak up and say these things. These thoughts need to be spoken aloud and heard. Often.
Btw, Hannity has all the integrity of a piece of wet toast. No need to bother asking him anything.
