By Terrance Heath · Thursday, April 19, 2018
Last week Sen. Cory Booker grilled Secretary of State nominee Mike Pompeo about his past views on LGBT rights. This week, the conservative Christian organization Liberty Counsel is calling for Bookers resignation.
Is being gay a perversion? Booker demanded of Pompeo during his confirmation hearing to become Secretary of State. Pompeo hemmed and hawed that his respect for every individual
is the same. But Sen. Booker wouldnt let him off the hook.
Now the Liberty Counsel has issued a press release entitled Sen. Booker Hates Christians calling on Booker to apologize or resign for interrogating Pompeo on his religious beliefs about marriage.
Apparently, Bookers biggest crime was accidentally naming the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) as a resource. In the Liberty Counsels alternate universe the SPLC is to blame for two attempted mass shootings and is closer to a hate group than the organizations it tracks.
The Liberty Counsel blames SPLC for the attempted mass shooting at the offices of the Family Research Council (FRC) and the shooting of Rep. Steven Scalise. The Counsel claims the SPLC caused the shootings by labeling the Family Research Council a hate group and Scalise as a white supremacist.
