Pompeos' RNC Speech Was Even Worse Than You Thought

[skews13]

Much has already been said about how it was unprecedented, inappropriate, and likely illegal for Pompeo to have addressed the convention in the way that he did. The norms preventing such speeches arose to keep the nation’s top diplomat out of partisan politics; the laws forbidding such speeches were enacted to draw important ethical lines between governance from politics.

What made Pompeo’s convention appearance worse, however, was that he gave the speech from the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem—an obvious pander to evangelical voters, since President Trump himself recently admitted that the relocation of the embassy was chiefly done to appease them. And worse still, Pompeo’s act risks making the U.S. relationship with Israel an even more polarized issue than it already is, which is dangerous both for U.S. interests in the Middle East and for Israel’s security.

Pompeo’s RNC Speech Was Worse Than You Thought

He abandoned norms and likely violated the law—but the substance of his remarks was awful, too.

He better hope like hell Trump wins again.

No, it wasn’t worse than I thought. Pompeo is a whack job and a dangerous warmongering lying psychopath. He has been this way a long time.

It doesn't matter whatsoever what the Communist Democrats think of the Republican Convention at this point their opinions are irrelevant.

"Likely illegal?" Boy, that has already been proven to be a falsehood. There is nothing illegal about it
at all. Hell, even the "Hatch Act" has been shown to be a witch hunt. It does not apply to the President
and WH staff can work these events at certain locations around the WH...like the Rose Garden or the South Lawn.

Do your homework boy. Biden is fading fast...and nothing can save him

Unprecedented?

6 of Barry Hussein's cabinet members spoke at the 2012 DNC, Moron.

Try thinking for yourself and not just regurgitate bullshit talking points that Madcow dude on MSDNC tells you.

Reporter points out six Obama Cabinet members spoke at 2012 DNC amid outrage over Pompeo RNC speech

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo sparked an outcry among Democrats over his appearance during the second night of the Republican National Convention, but the participation of a sitting Cabinet member in such a political event is nothing new.
