Feinstein comes out against Pompeo for Secretary of State

Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) said on Tuesday that she opposes CIA Director Mike Pompeo’s nomination to be secretary of State.

“I sense a certain disdain for diplomacy in Mike Pompeo that I believe disqualifies him from being our next senior diplomat,” Feinstein said in a press release. “I urge President Trump to nominate someone capable of proudly representing all of America in the pursuit of peace.”

Feinstein said that she was concerned about Pompeo’s past statements about Muslims and the LGBT community and thinks that the secretary of State should be “committed to diplomacy and view war as a last resort.”

She attacked Pompeo for his opposition to multilateral negotiations with Iran that later led to the Iran nuclear deal, which Pompeo said he “looked forward to rolling back.”

President Trump abruptly fired Secretary of State Rex Tillerson last month and announced Pompeo, a former Kansas congressman, as his replacement.

...her, "I urge President Trump to nominate someone capable of proudly representing all of America..." - something not high on the fake President's list of qualifications.

when he was first running, he would go to all the small town parades. In the 4th of July parade I think it was the 2008 or 2010 race He was in my hometown shaking hands and walking the parade route.

I had on a t-shirt that said "I only sleep with Democrats" He shook my sister's hand, my brothers and brother in law and mother in law and walked right by me.

He is not fit for anything Not CIA, not congressman, not dog catcher and certainly not Secretary of State.
