The New York Times 1619 Project, which examines the role of slavery in U.S. history, was not the central focus of his speech, nor of the new draft report that his controversial Commission on Unalienable Rights produced.
But his comments have sparked fresh debate and criticism among diplomats who continue to raise alarm bells over long-standing issues of systemic racism and diversity challenges in the State Department. Five officials who spoke to Foreign Policy on condition of anonymity described a reaction of shock and fury.
Pompeo made it very clear where he stands and reaffirmed the purpose of the commission by denigrating the movement for equal justice and the call for racial reckoning and healing in America, said one State Department official. Everyone that I have spoken with is horrified and disgusted by the commission, his press conference, and [the] attack on 1619, said the official.

They are all welcome to resign and go get real jobs.
The State Department has been in the hands of flaming Communists for decades. The hate America and hate Americans. Thank God for Pompeo.
This is why the Foreign Service has gained a reputation for contempt and disdain for the country they supposedly serve.
Foggy Bottom has long been in need of a proper cleansing.
There needs to be a staff reduction at the DOS. About 100% will do. They do not share the interests of real Americans.
Diplomats = deep staters. We saw what these “diplomats” were about during the House impeachment hearings. Arrogant bastards who appear too often not to support the United States and the policy of the Administration, but their own policies. This entire government needs a complete flushing of these peiople (as well as others).
Im not surprised. Our State Department is made up of predominantly anti-American communist sympathizers.
Off all gubmit jobs, I would suspect that the lowest of the low is a “diplomat”.
The 1619 project is a despicable smear campaign built on the lie that America was founded on slavery. Any State Department official who doesn’t agree with Pompeo should do the nation a favor and resign. If they don’t resign, they should be removed.
An un-named so called state department official uses
the term racial reckoning and we are not supposed to guess
their bias?

Sure, I believe it.
If there was systemic racism in the state department,
why didn’t Obama and Felonia Von Pantsuit fix it when
they were in charge?
Because it isn’t racism when they do it!
Im looking forward to the 1776 Project by Robert Woodson that refutes the misinformation of 1619.
Flush out the decadent Marxist denizens of Foggy Bottom.

Really? Everyone? I think this is a case of liar, liar pants on fire.
And as Judge Judy might say, once I have caught you in one lie I tend to disbelieve your whole story.
well who is in charge of getting rid of these people? Why does it seem that everybody Obama disliked was fired within the first 10 days?
Pompeo must respond to this, and respond HARD.
The entire .fedgov is shot through with leftists, socialists, marxists, resisters, and traitors.
This administration hasn’t been very effective in getting rid of the Obama hold-overs.
If they would let him, Ric Grenell could get started on it.
He knows the system, and Pompeo could keep working on other things.
But maybe he has some other position waiting.
An understatement. I don’t understand it.
