Our SoS to-be is a POS who called his Indian-American opponent a turban-topper

https://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/08/12/mike-pompeo-gop-candidate_n_680612.html

A Republican congressional candidate and RNC committee member has personally apologized for a tweet his campaign sent out promoting an article that called his opponent a “turban topper” who “could be a muslim, a hindu, a buddhist etc who knows.”

Republican Mike Pompeo, who is running for a congressional seat in Kansas’s Fourth District, called State Rep. Raj Goyle on Thursday to offer his regrets for the offending post, Goyle told the Huffington Post. The apology was accepted. But Goyle, who seeks the seat being vacated by Rep. Todd Tiahrt (R-KS), was not necessarily done re-litigating the matter.

Before that he was a Kansas Representative for only 6 years years. How was he qualified to become the Director of the CIA - with no prior CIA experience?

Now he's the Secretary of State with - you guessed it - no prior State Dept. experience?

This guy has less experience than most McDonald's managers, and he's our new Secretary of State?

Pompeo was a Koch-funded climate denier in congress and just has a long record indicating he's a full-fledged slimedog of the type this president surrounds himself with. That of course includes misrepresenting to congress the findings of the intelligence community on Trump-Russia (nothing here, folks). He's managed to develop a decent relationship with Trump. He's been giving Trump his 20-second intelligence briefings and undoubtedly has been in on/influenced a number of the decisions that bypassed the State Department.
