Franklin Graham blasts Democrat: ‘Dangerous’ to make gov’t officials back gay ‘marriage’
In a series of tweets on Monday, Billy Graham’s son Franklin blasted Sen. Cory Booker, D-NJ, for his hostility toward CIA Director Mike Pompeo over Pompeo’s belief in man-woman marriage.
“So does holding a traditional view of marriage now make you inappropriate for public office in the eyes of some?” Graham asked. “That’s incredibly wrong—and it’s dangerous for the future of this nation.”
Senator @CoryBooker grilled Mike Pompeo on this topic in his Senate confirmation & is implying that you can’t have this belief and be an appointee. In other words, he’s saying you have to believe like him or you can’t serve in the federal gov’t. 2/3 toddstarnes.com/show/sen-cory-…
Pompeo remained composed as Booker grilled him on whether he thinks it’s “appropriate” for same-sex couples to “marry” and asked him whether he thinks sodomy is perverse.
Booker’s aggression toward pro-marriage Pompeo was reminiscent of a now-infamous jab Sen. Diane Feinstein, D-CA, made to a Catholic judicial nominee: “The dogma lives loudly within you.”
That Trump-appointed nominee, Amy Coney Barrett, was eventually confirmed and is now a federal judge.
The U.S. Constitution explicitly prohibits the enactment of a “religious test” for holding public office. “No religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States,” Article VI states.
