The official government page was updated to tout Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's speech on his faith.
The U.S. State Department’s main homepage was updated on Monday to show a photo of Secretary of State Mike Pompeo with the headline: “Being A Christian Leader.” “As believers, we draw on the wisdom of God to help us get it right, to be a force for good in the life of human beings,” Pompeo said in the speech, according to the rest of the remarks on the State Department website. “I know some people in the media will break out the pitchforks when they hear that I ask God for direction in my work.
The headline on the State Department homepage was changed later in the day to read: “Secretary Pompeo at the America Association of Christian Counselors.” By nighttime, the page was changed completely to a report about sanctions against Turkey. Americans United for Separation of Church and State slammed the speech and the government website makeover.
“It’s perfectly fine for Secretary Pompeo to be a leader who is Christian. But he cannot use his government position to impose his faith on the rest of us,” CEO Rachel Laser said in a news release. “That is a fundamental violation of the separation of religion and government.”This is the the home page of the State Department. We all look forward to tomorrow’s page, which I trust will feature “Being a Muslim Leader.” The next day, “Being a Buddhist leader.” Not likely.
This is also a straight up 2020 election-related effort. Pompeo’s using his position to solidify support from the Christian right. https://t.co/qrvkMxcjqJThis article originally appeared on HuffPost.
