Sen. Cory Booker Shames Mike Pompeo over Christian Beliefs
Todd Starnes ^ | 12 April 18 | Todd Starnes

Posted on 04/12/2018 5:28:21 PM PDT by SkyPilot

Mike Pompeo, President Trump’s nominee for secretary of state, faced an offensive line of questioning from Sen. Cory Booker – demanding to know if he opposed same-sex marriage and if he thought gay sex was perverse.

Booker (R-NJ) came dangerously close to suggesting Pompeo’s Christian faith and religious beliefs made him unsuitable to be secretary of state. •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.”

Sen. Booker then grilled the former CIA director about his views on gay sex.

“You believe that gay sex is a perversion? Yes or no,” the senator demanded to know. “Yes or no? Do you believe gay sex is a perversion?”

It was an obscene question – sickening!

Gay rights groups and their allies lashed out – accusing Pompeo of being a homophobe – a bigot.

“Mike Pompeo’s reaffirmed opposition to marriage equality and LGBTQ rights further proves that he is dangerously wrong to serve as our nation’s chief diplomat,” Sarah Kate Ellis, president of GLAAD, told NBC News in a statement.

Chad Griffin, president of the far-left Human Rights Campaign, told the Washington Post there would be serious consequences for gay people around the world if Pompeo became secretary of state.

“Mike Pompeo’s long-standing opposition to LGBTQ equality makes him a reckless choice to lead our nation’s diplomatic efforts. The decision to nominate anti-LGBTQ Mike Pompeo could have serious consequences for the United States and LGBTQ people around the globe,” he told the newspaper. “Pompeo does not deserve to be confirmed.”

I was in cancer detection for over 40 years. The anus/rectum (mostly) is made up of secretory cells not squamous cells. Squamous cells are made for ‘protection’ (your skin is made up of squamous cells); the vagina is lined with squamous cells for protection against the roughness of intercourse. The delicate secretory cells that line just above the anal opening, and then all the way up the alimentary canal, are not made for roughness. And trust me, HPV in gay men is exploding due to the battering these cells are taking. (HPV doesn’t often affect squamous cells, just mainly glandular cells)This is the scientific view......the anal/rectal area was NOT meant to accept an erect penis. So no, anal sex is NOT good for the body, so is not ‘normal’.

Respond with “Is this the religious test portion of the questioning?”

Pretty much aligns with the first chapter of Romans.

It doesn’t say it directly like that. IIRC from Bio the lining in the human mouth is cuboidal squamous.

Marriage is a recognized union (or contract so to say) between a man and woman, accepted into law. The terms origin is in the Bible, that defines it.

That said...if two dudes, or two gals want to enter into the same recognized union, COME UP WITH THEIR OWN terms and definition, go through legal process and have it recognized in law.

Calling it marriage is an attack against Christian beliefs and right in the Marxist playbook. Destroy family and faith, put trust in government.

I shall never recognize two men or two women as legally married. Guess I’m old school

Homosexuality is a perversion and a very unhealthy one. The dictionary used to define perverts as those that prefer other types of sex to coitus. The lib/commies may have changed the dictionary meanings as the DSMIIII to DSMIV was changed, but the truth is still there despite the best pc/Saul Alinsky type efforts.

“Booker looks Demonic”

All leftist thought, from the limousine liberalism of a George Clooney to the murderous horrors of Mao, Stalin, and Pol Pot, is of and from Satan.

As time passes, leftists tend to become more “radical,” which is to say they fall further under the sway of Evil.

Booker *is* demonic.

Booker is one of a Rogue's Gallery of radical Lib Dem candidates for the 2020 presidential election. Without exception, it will be the most despicable group that Dem voters, and in turn, American voters, have ever had to choose from. Most disheartening is that any one of them will have a good chance of being elected by a shallow-thinking electorate.

That would be a fantastic response! Thank you for posting it.

I think there is a good chance soemone could bait a democrat senator in to answering “yes”, which would be an impeachable offense. Many democrat politicians are so ignorant regarding the contents of our Constitution that they might not recognize the importance of that question.

What does rump rangering have to do with foreign policy, Mr. Booker?

Ingesting massive quantities of male semen obviously affects the ability to manage anger in males.

That said, the correct answer was “Are you setting a religious litmus test for this office, senator?”

Once you understand that Corny Booger is absolutely LUSTING after a run for POTUS to the point of frothing at the mouth, all these rants and outrages lose their shock potential. YAWN! Just another jive politi-cian trying to look like he matters.

Booker doesn’t like being reminded he is a pervert.

///////////////////////

There is only one type of sex. It is between a male and a female and is defined as coitus. Sex can only be COMPLETED by two individuals with an ability to reproduce, Two individuals of the same sex are having sensual pleasure but not sex because they can’t reproduce.As such it is aberrant behavior and as sinful as adultery or fornication. There is no mention of “homosexuality” or “gayness” in scripture. A union of man and man, or woman and woman is called sodomy and is sinful behavior. Sensuality is not sexuality. The godless marxists use language to lie and embrace satan. We lose the argument when we accept their premise. They got us to abandon scripture and accept psychology as truth. This pseudo-science is man centered and secular. It is unsubstantiated and conflicts with revealed biblical truth. We now believe that their are three sexes, men, women, and homosexuals. Homosexuals actually are asexual. A gay male is simply a man who choses to abstain from sex in favor of pursuing sensual pleasure with another man. Once we accepted this false third sexual modality they immediately introduced “gay marriage” and” transgenderism”. this is what happens when we abandon scripture or allow it to be perverted by secular humanistic devil worship.

‘....any one of them will have a good chance of being elected...’

Agree. Hope and pray that people do not dismiss the seriousness and potential election of candidates like Cory Booker, Kamala Harris, Eric Holder or any far left libs. Many said Barack Obama would not be elected.
