JERUSALEM (AP) — U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo told a Christian broadcast network that it’s “possible” that President Donald Trump is like Queen Esther, who saved Jews in the Old Testament.
Pompeo made the statement Thursday in an interview with the Christian Broadcasting Network on his trip to the Middle East.
The interviewer asked if Trump is “like Queen Esther,” who interceded with her husband to save Jews in what was then Persia and is now Iran. Trump has backed new sanctions on Iran aimed at reducing its ability to threaten Israel.
Pompeo said in response that “As a Christian, I certainly believe that’s possible.”
The secretary of state recently drew criticism for holding a briefing exclusively for “faith-based” journalists.
Pompeo on Friday vowed new measures against what he said was the “threat” from Iran.
Yeah, right. Delusional idiot.
But no, he would not allow them to replace those fine people in Charlottesville.
Can we have another article about Carter? I prefer my Christians to not be full of shit.
If there’s a better definition of “Goysplaining”, I have yet to hear it.
(Did anyone bother to point out that, unlike Donald, Hadassah was Jewish?)
Welcome to the Trump administration, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Evangelical Right.
Can anyone out there imagine any other Secretary of State saying this? Ever?
I watched this on the news this morning, and my first thought was, “is that Mike Pompeo or Jerry Falwell come back to life?” Same pompous, self-righteous smile.
