Pompeo became upset when Kelly  pursued a line of questioning regarding Ukraine and his particular role  with the events that have led to the President&#8217;s impeachment. After  ending the interview, Pompeo had an aide invite her into his office  where he berated her and tried to belittle her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\n personally see a Venn of unacceptable behavior where these two stories \nintersect: mistreating a professional journalist, leveraging position \npower to bully, obvious and open misogyny. Some would argue against \nthis. Some would argue that this is only the start of a very long list. I\n didn&#8217;t draw this cartoon to get pulled into those discussions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\n drew it to say: This is not how people should treat people. This is \nespecially not how people who represent us in our government (elected or\n appointed) should treat the people they work for. The very base of what\n Lucido and Pompeo did wrong was not treating these women as they would \nexpect to be treated. They blatantly broke the golden rule. Guys, can we\n please start with the fundamentals and then go from there?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Story #1: A couple of weeks ago, Michigan State Senator Peter Lucido made an inappropriate comment to Allison Donahue, a reporter for the Michigan Advance.
