Voice of America (VOA) journalist Patsy Widakuswara recently became a center of attention after she was reassigned and demoted on Jan. 11, hours after she tried to interview United States Secretary of State Mike Pompeo in the aftermath of a violent riot in the Capitol building. In footage posted on her Twitter account @pwidakuswara on Jan. 11, she was heard trying to ask Pompeo a question. “Mr. Secretary, what are you doing to repair the US reputation around the world?” She also pressed Pompeo on whether he regretted saying there would be a second Trump administration following Democrat Joe Biden’s victory in the 2020 election. He ignored her questions.
