At the Senate confirmation hearings for PDT’s pick to be Secretary of State, the Democrats… at least the most show-boaty one… seemed far more interested in the nominee’s views on gay marriage and gay sex than on his credentials and beliefs about international relations.

During a Senate confirmation hearing Thursday, Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) pushed Pompeo on his previous comments, particularly his suggestion that homosexuality was a “perversion.” Booker: “Is being gay a perversion?” Pompeo: “Senator, when I was a politician, I had a very clear view on whether it was appropriate for two same-sex persons to marry. I stand by that.” Booker: “So, you do not believe that it’s appropriate for two gay people to marry?” Pompeo: “Senator, I continue to hold that view.”

The left simpers, “How will he stand up o countries that don’t respect gay rights.” To which I respond, Shut Up, Skippy. Concern about Gay Rights in foreign countries didn’t stop BO and company from giving billions upon billions of dollars to a regime that hangs gay people from cranes in the public square.
