Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) grilled Secretary of State nominee Mike Pompeo during his Senate confirmation hearing Thursday about Pompeo's stated opposition to gay marriage.
Booker was referring to a speech Pompeo made in 2015 while he was a Kansas congressman, which cited a prayer delivered by the Rev. Joe Wright.
"America had worshiped other Gods and called it multiculturalism. We’d endorsed perversion and called it an alternative lifestyle,” Pompeo said.
"Those are your words," Booker said to Pompeo. "Is being gay a perversion?"
Pompeo replied by stating he had a "clear view" on whether gay marriage was "appropriate" while he was a politician in Kansas, and that he stands by those views today.
Booker continued to press Pompeo, saying he knows same-sex couples within the State Department who were married under Pompeo's leadership.
"You do not believe that should be allowed?" Booker said.
Pompeo answered by saying he treats gay couples who work at the CIA with "the exact same set of rights" as anyone else.
He concluded by saying, "My respect for every individual -- regardless of their sexual orientation -- is the same."
Booker finished by saying to Pompeo that he doesn't think his beliefs reflect the nation's values.

I’d answer that but I can’t read what you typed....
How dare that asshat , Booker, dare to speak for me and what I think!
A majority of the experts tasked with determining if something is a mental illness or not voted that it wasn't.
(Is coronary artery disease an illness? Do people with coronary artery disease live as long as people without coronary artery disease? Do homosexuals live as long as normosexuals?)
Now fast forward to 2018, it seems that the only place that a man is prohibited from placing his **** is a woman, at least if he is a Republican.
(In 2018, I think the majority of psychiatrists are bat****. But I'm not an expert.)
Maybe Booker has a dog in the fight.
The answer is yes, homosexuality is a perversion.
and a queer angry moron!
“Booker finished by saying to Pompeo that he doesn’t think his beliefs reflect the nation’s values.”
You kidding me?? Pompeo has MY beliefs and values. Good to know he has disgust for fags.
The nations values Mr Booker is a conservative one. We dont take lightly to poofters and ass munchers bullying the silent majority who are not into sick and perverted garbage.
Yes, being gay
is a perversion of biology and human society. We simply tolerate them but should not allow them to exercise authoritative political and cultural power as a class of people.
In such politics , it’s like inviting a few dozen working prostitutes to a heterosexual wedding.
We should still have compassion for their situation, but they should not rule us or our culture.
Move that shrill Indian adulteress Nimrata Randhawa over from the UN to head up State, she is a stone cold killer.
Sodomite drama-queens do love to demonstrate their histrionics when the camera is on.
Just as with Pelosi, I believe it helps to have this clown on camera and quoted in the media every day.
Maybe Booker has a dog in the fight.

He has a toy poodle in the fight.
Lol! Sounds about right.
Did Criey booker cry today?
Progressivism is a perversion.
With all the grave internatinal situations facing us at this moment, this man wastes time making points with the himosexual lobby.
Why all the butt hurt Corey?
“This kind of questioning and scrutiny is way out of line.”
I agree. What does this have to do with the Secretary of State?
Yes....it is.
