released a report downplaying the role of slavery in the nation’s founding and early history. This isn’t the first time Pompeo, a former CIA director and before that a Republican congressman from Kansas, has denounced multiculturalism.
At a 2015 event called a “God and Country Rally” at a Wichita church, he cited a prayer that a minister had once delivered to the Kansas legislature, saying, “America had worshipped other Gods and called it multiculturalism.
We’d endorsed perversion and called it an alternative lifestyle.”Pompeo is known for many anti-LGBTQ+ stances, such as opposition to marriage equality and to allowing lesbian, gay, and bisexual people to serve openly in the military.
