Marc Thiessen: Award for Mike Pompeo mysteriously rescinded, proves our politics just hit a new low | Fox News:

Consider this: On Tuesday, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo was set to receive the 2019 Foley American Hostage Freedom Award, in recognition of the Trump administration's work in releasing Americans held hostage abroad. The award is named for James Foley, the American journalist who was kidnapped and beheaded by the Islamic State. But at the last minute, the award was mysteriously rescinded and Pompeo disinvited from the gala that he had agreed to attend.
By any objective criteria, Pompeo deserved the award, because the Trump administration has the best record in freeing American hostages of any administration in modern times.
