Really interesting about Secretary of State desu

>Pompeo received $80,000 in donations from Koch Industries and its employees.[9]

>Pompeo opposes the Affordable Care Act.[10]

>Pompeo is a lifetime member of the National Rifle Association, which has endorsed him.[11]

>Pompeo opposes closing Guantánamo Bay detention camp.[12] After a 2013 visit to the prison, Pompeo said, of the prisoners who were on hunger strike, "It looked to me like a lot of them had put on weight."[13]

>Pompeo supported the federal Government shutdown of 2013, blaming President Obama while acknowledging that the Republican Party could take a hit from the shutdown. He stated that he believed the shutdown was necessary to avoid a predicted "American financial collapse 10 years from now."[14] In January 2014, Pompeo voted against a two-year budget deal drafted by Paul Ryan that would avert any government shutdown until 2015 and cut deficits by $23 billion.[15]

>Pompeo opposes the regulation of greenhouse gas emissions, and supports eliminating the Environmental Protection Agency's greenhouse gas registry program.[16] He signed the Americans for Prosperity's No Climate Tax pledge.[17] He has called for the elimination of Wind power production tax credits, calling them an "enormous government handout".[18]

>In a 2013 speech on the House floor, Pompeo said Muslim leaders who fail to denounce acts of terrorism done in the name of Islam are "potentially complicit" in the attacks.[19] The Council on American-Islamic Relations called on Pompeo to revise his remarks, calling them "false and irresponsible".[20]

>Pompeo supports the National Security Agency's surveillance programs, characterizing the agency's efforts as "good and important work."[21] In March 2014, Pompeo denounced NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden's inclusion in the South by Southwest conference in Austin, Texas, and called for Snowden's invitation to speak via telecast at the annual Texas event be withdrawn, lest it encourage “lawless behavior” among attendees.[22]

>Pompeo is strongly anti-abortion.[23] He believes that abortion should be permitted in cases when the mother's life is at risk, but should be illegal in cases of rape and incest.[24]

>Pompeo opposes requiring food suppliers to label food made with Genetically modified organisms as GMO, and to that end in April 2014 introduced the "Safe and Accurate Food Labeling Act" to block states from requiring mandatory GMO food labeling.[25]

B-but this is breaking news too!

>Pompeo supports the National Security Agency's surveillance programs
That's the one bad thing about him.

Seems appropriate for CIA though.

>Paul Joseph Watson

>Trump's new CIA Director Mike Pompeo says Iran is the world's largest state sponsor of terror. Wrong. It's clearly Saudi Arabia.

americucks will never change

I know him and his family. Really smart guy he was valedictorian of West Point and started an aerospace engineering firm. As for the Koch stuff he represents Wichita, KS where Koch is located so obviously he going to get donations from them. He is a good guy, very conservative.

Level with me, Sup Forums

Have you ever heard of any of these people or is it just me who's in the dark?
