Pompeo's Party Pooped.
Hardly Anyone Showed Up.
Fewer than 70 people showed up to Mike Pompeo's
indoor Christmas party after he invited 900 people.
The event, hosted by the Secretary of State and his wife Susan at the State Department, was avoided by the majority of invitees on Tuesday after the celebrations prompted an outcry from public health officials.
About 70 people RSVP’d for the event dedicated to the family members of diplomats serving overseas in dangerous postings as of Monday night and just a fraction of that group showed up, the Post said.
Pompeo, who was scheduled to speak at the event, canceled his speech and tapped a substitute, two officials told the Post.
