On Monday, Rep. Mike Pompeo of Kansas was confirmed by Congress as President Donald Trump’s CIA director, and he was promptly sworn in that same night so he could get to work right away.
While many liberals had objections to Pompeo, conservatives cheered the selection of someone who would not be afraid to challenge radical Islamic terrorism.
Pompeo is also someone who hasn’t been shy about expressing his faith in public, as when he made some interesting public statements about Jesus Christ a few years ago, Press TV reported.
“Pray and stand and fight and make sure that we know that Jesus Christ our savior is truly the only solution for our world,” Pompeo said at a dinner when talking about radical Islamic terrorism.
“This threat to America is from people who deeply believe that Islam is the way and the light and the only answer,” he stated earlier in his speech. “These folks believe that it is religiously driven for them to wipe Christians from the face of the earth.”
It’s been a while since we’ve had a politician in charge of something like the CIA who wasn’t shy about discussing his religious faith in public or about naming exactly who our enemies are and what they want to do.
Pompeo also hasn’t been reticent about criticizing the Islamic community in America for not being quicker to condemn acts of terrorism like the Boston Marathon bombing, CNS News reported.
Trump has nominated the best people he could find to help lead the fight against terrorism and defend America from all her enemies. Things are looking up, for the first time in eight years.
