As we told you earlier, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is in Rome. . .
Wheels up, and heading to Europe. Our enduring partnerships in Europe are critical, and I look forward to productive conversations on a range of global issues, including protecting #religiousfreedom and advancing economic prosperity. First stop: Rome and the Holy See. pic.twitter.com/sV5Z5fnkEu

. . . and the blue-checks are very angry that Sebastian Gorka, who is a radio host for our parent company Salem Media, is on the trip:
Just in: Sebastian Gorka is traveling with @SecPompeo to Europe, @Abs_NBC reports. He was seen getting into a State Department van headed to Joint Base Andrews for departure

So, hosting a radio show doesn’t qualify as a member of the press now?
Gorka is traveling as a member of the press, per pool https://t.co/KQlnyaHsbQ

Gorka has been tweeting photos of the trip:
It’s not quite Air Force One.
But it’s very close!
Boarding @SecPompeo’s Air Force Boeing at @Andrews_JBA.
Destination Rome.
Stay Tuned!

With the @FoxNews Away Team, on the tarmac at @Andrews_JBA waiting for @SecPompeo to arrive so we can get wheels up for Italy.

But, for the most part, journos aren’t happy about it:
What?

So @SecPompeo invited @SebGorka to travel with him on the Secretary of State's plane. Was he oh-so-eager for Seb's foreign policy advice???? Or is it that he's angling for the support of Seb and other Trump loyalists in the (oh-so-sad!) case Trump is forced from office?
— Bill Kristol (@BillKristol) October 1, 2019
How on earth could @SecPompeo think that this was a good idea? He's a smart man. I just don't get it. (Did Trump order him to take Gorka along?) https://t.co/B5KKg957oj

LOL! No… way…
Seb Gorka is *just* what this Monday news cycle needed to push it ALL THE WAY OVER THE TOP.
The corruption (and idiocy) simply does not stop with this administration. https://t.co/lAbs3f7Hwd

Unless our tax dollars are being used to extradite nazi-curious assh*le @SebGorka back to wherever he was extruded, this should be another topic for @realDonaldTrump fluffer @SecPompeo to explain under oath. https://t.co/k0ahoPN8fg

He’s an extremely accomplished neurosurgeon and proctologist.

Traveling Europe with Seb Gorka And Mike Pompeo is like a Mario Perillo Tour, If Hitler and Mussolini had won the War.
— Jeremy Newberger (@jeremynewberger) October 1, 2019
since we know Seb's a sub, reckon that means Pom's a dom?

Deal with it. Here’s his latest from Italy:
Why is the Left mad that I’m in Rome?
Looks like Team Obama and their drones are worried.
Good.
