Fox News
Mike Pompeo was interrupted by protesters during a speech on Thursday, but the former secretary of state is happy they were able to exercise their First Amendment right.
Pompeo, who was at the William F. Buckley, Jr. Program event to promote intellectual diversity on Yale's campus, said the protesters did an "enormous disservice to colleagues and peers" by shouting instead of engaging in informed debate.

"It’s too bad that they didn’t come and listen and make an argument instead of noise," Pompeo said. "They just wanted to scream… that’s not the finest traditions of our country."
