Mike Pompeo said all Muslims are 'potentially complicit' in terrorism.

From the article:

Mike Pompeo said all Muslims are 'potentially complicit' in terrorism. He's unfit to be secretary of state..........

The secretary of state is the chief diplomat responsible for guiding the foreign policy for the United States of America, and the face of America in the world — including the Muslim world. And soon, the man holding that job will be a former right-wing Tea Party congressman who once, among other Islamophobic statements and actions, accepted an award from a hate group labeled the “largest anti-Muslim group" in the country by both the Anti-Defamation League and the Southern Poverty Law Center

but for the right wing and the corporate media, the label of "terrorism" is reserved for non-Christians and non-whites.

As he leaves the CIA to work for Trump.

It's got to be on his mind, in lots of ways.

Secretary of State, head of our diplomacy, should have much more nuanced positions, more equanimity.

If Pompeo gets confirmed by the Senate as Secretary of State, we may truly be on the highway to hell.

Especially when Trump said he and Pimpeo were very likeminded, and that's why he hired him.

Pompeo also probably knows the intimate details of the CIA case against Trump. Which should be of great interest to Donald.
