Pompeo and his extreme anti-Muslim agenda have no place in our government. #NoPompeo

On 7/13/13, after the Boston Marathon bombing, Pompeo told the House of Reps that American Muslims were responsible for condemning the bombing: "Silence has made these Islamic leaders across America potentially complicit in these acts.” #nopompeo nytimes.com/n/04/06/us/pom…

In 2016, Pompeo won SPLC-designated hate group ACT for America’s National Security Eagle Award—their highest honor. ACT is an anti-Muslim hate group pushing policy at all levels of government. #nopompeo splcenter.org/fighting-hate/…

In 2015, Pompeo spoke at the Center for Security Policy’s “Defeat Jihad” summit. CSP is an SPLC-designated anti-Muslim hate group. #nopompeo splcenter.org/fighting-hate/…

In February 2015, Pompeo agreed with Frank Gaffney, head of the anti-Muslim hate group Center for Security Policy, on the conspiracy that the-President Obama had an “affinity for” radical Muslim. #nopompeo rightwingwatch.org/post/gop-rep-a…

In 2014, Pompeo told a church crowd that the “threat to America” was caused by “people who deeply believe that Islam is the way.” #nopompeo nbcnews.com/think/opinion/…

In 2011, Pompeo referenced the LGBT community when talking about the "Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell" policy at the conservative Values Voters Summit: “We cannot use military to promote social ideas that do not reflect the values of our nation.” #nopompeo religiondispatches.org/gay-bashing-th…

In February 2015, Pompeo spoke on the radio program of Frank Gaffney, head of hate group Center for Immigration Studies. He said, “There are organizations and networks here in the United States tied to radical Islam in deep and fundamental ways.” #nopompeo slate.com/b/news_and_pol…

In 2014, 2015 and 2016, Pompeo spoke at the conference of anti-Muslim hate group ACT for America. #nopompeo

In 2015, Pompeo co authored a bill seeking to name the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization. The bill was drafted with help from anti-Muslim “trainer” John Guandolo. #nopompeo imagine2050.newcomm.org/2016/11/18/mik…

In 2016, while still a member of the US Congress, Pompeo reserved a room on Capitol Hill for anti-Muslim hate group ACT for America. #nopompeo splcenter.org/hatewatch/2016…

In 2017, Pompeo consulted Tony Perkins, head of the anti-LGBT hate group Family Research Council, on services within the CIA. #nopompeo washingtonpost.com/world/national…

As Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo would be responsible for shaping American foreign policy that will likely have harmful effects on American Muslims and Muslims across the world—giving anti-Muslim extremists another ally in a high place.
