U.S. Senator Robert Menendez, the top Democrat on the Foreign Relations Committee, said on Wednesday he would oppose President Donald Trump’s nomination of CIA Director Mike Pompeo as secretary of state, in a blow to the nomination.
“I believe our nation’s top diplomat must be forthright, and more critically his past sentiments did not reflect our nation’s values and are not acceptable for our nation’s top diplomat,” Menendez said.
Nine of the 10 Democrats have announced they oppose Pompeo, and none has announced support.
Every committee Democrat also opposed the nomination of Trump’s first secretary of state, Rex Tillerson.

Top Democrat.
Izzat sorta like the fly sitting on top of a putrid pile of Obamastuff?
Well that’s a shocker.
Gee, what a shock. /s
Let’s change the headline
Insert Democrat Name Here to vote against Pompeo as Secretary of State
“Top Democrat”/pedophile. Hope to see him as a GTMO resident.
Question: Who cares?
In other words PDJT made the correct choice. We now have confirmation !
Menendezis an actual politician who DID accept services from overseas hookers from a campaign donor. This is why I can’t take the media or the modern democrat party that it enables seriously anymore.
That bastard would have been convicted in any State but New Jersey.
““I believe our nation’s top diplomat must be forthright, and more critically his past sentiments did not reflect our nation’s values and are not acceptable for our nation’s top diplomat,” Menendez said.”
Is this Menendez fellow who is speaking of “our nation’s values” the same guy who was recently in the headlines regarding flying to the Dominican Republic for sex with underage girls?
Has Rooooters ever considered it "a blow to the nomination" if a conservative opposed a liberal appointee? I bet not...
That’s Bob! In one building in DC some neighbors complained about the noise from his unit. He’d have hookers cover over every week they alleged on a regular basis.
Also, you can fly up underage girls from the DR if you have the right connections. (Cough, cough)
I imagine Menendez knows Pompeo knows much more about Menendez than we know.
Good. Had he voted in favor, it would have made me doubtful about Pompeo.
“That bastard would have been convicted in any State but New Jersey.”
I guess in the Toilet State, New Jersey, Menendez does “represent their values!”
Fortunately, they are not broadly “observed” elsewhere in the country. I would like for Bob to enumerate just what those “values” are. I see corruption and illicit sex with underage girls on a foreign island are probably at the top of his list.
Thanks to our gutless AG, Sessions, Menendez,the crooked scumbag, is still around.
Heh, I was trying to figure out a way to post in monotone:
“Gee. I am so surprised. You could have knocked me over with a feather.”
Doubtful.
He is part of the resistance and that is what he was told to do.
