"MIKE POMPEO: ISRAEL HAS FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT TO BOMB ANY PLACE ACROSS MIDDLE EAST"
Simply unbelievable that anyone would say such a thing.
Much less someone in so high and influential a position. And much less still someone bragging about how much of a Christian he is.
But I think it an excellent measure of just how debased American politics have become.
The statement ranks right up there with Hillary Clinton's hysterical outburst about Tulsi Gabbard and Jill Stein being "Russian assets."
Given the nonstop rush of conflicting, rude and violent statements coming from Donald Trump and the sickly stream of lies from Joe Biden and Elizabeth Warren, you just have to shake your head and wonder why the press even bothers to report most of what American politicians say today.
Past wild claims about "fake news" really seem to recede into tameness compared with the actual public words major American political figures now openly offer.
