Celebs React to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's Shocking Claim That Trump Will Have a Second Term Despite Losing Election

Celebrities, journalists and politicians are reacting to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo‘s shocking statements.

The 56-year-old official addressed the question of a transition to President-elect Joe Biden on Tuesday (November 10), and his answer is making headlines.

“There will be a smooth transition to a second Trump administration. We’re ready. The world is watching what’s taking place. We’re going to count all the votes,” he said, despite the fact that Trump was not declared the projected winner.

“When the process is complete there’ll be electors selected, there’s a process the Constitution lays it out pretty clearly. The world should have every confidence that the transition necessary to make sure that the State Department is functional today, successful today, and successful with the president who’s in office on January 20th,” he continued.

Biden won the popular vote. Biden won the electoral college. Every vote was counted. No illegitimate votes were counted. Sure, recount the close ones if you want. But what Pompeo is implying here is a coup. A fascist coup,” wrote Sarah Silverman.

“Hey media, it’s called #facism – start saying it out loud,” said Josh Gad.
