Dear Senator —
Mike Pompeo as Secretary of State would put our communities, our nation, and our world in extreme danger. As CIA Director and in Congress, Pompeo has:
- Threatened regime change in North Korea
- Used his positions of power to undermine the historic Iran Deal
- Championed America’s endless wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, and beyond
- Spouted anti-Muslim views and cozied up to extremist anti-Muslim friends
- Embraced torture
- Denied that climate change is real
- Pushed anti-woman, anti-LGBTQ, anti-abortion ideologies
As Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo would not only implement his own pro-war, anti-diplomacy views, he would also be in a position to enable the dangerous war agenda of John Bolton and, should she be confirmed, the torture agenda of Gina Haspel as CIA director. I urge you to use your platform at Pompeo’s Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing to publicly clarify the dangers of confirming Mike Pompeo as our nation’s top diplomat.
