Booker grills Pompeo on views about Muslims, homosexuality
By Morgan Chalfant - 04/12/18 01:36 PM EDT

Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) on Thursday grilled CIA Director Mike Pompeo on his views about Muslim Americans and homosexuality during his confirmation hearing to be secretary of State.

In a tense exchange, Booker pressed Pompeo on whether he believes that people worshipping “other gods” in America is a negative thing. Pompeo insisted that his record demonstrates he has treated people of “each and every faith with the dignity they deserve.”

Referencing his past statements, Booker also asked Pompeo whether he believes that Muslims who fail to speak out against extremist violence are complicit in that violence. Pompeo answered that every individual has a “special obligation” to push back against such attacks. But he also suggested that Muslims are “better positioned” to speak out because of their religious views.

Name one (just one) high-profile Democrat that isn't an embarrassment.   I can't think of any.   :shrug:
