The Democrats have made no secret of their feelings towards Mike Pompeo:
This week, I voted against the nomination of Rep. Pompeo, questioned Rep. Mulvaney, and said I’d defend women and immigrants.

Secretary of State and CIA director are very different jobs. Mike Pompeo’s disdain for diplomacy and his divisive remarks toward minority groups lead me to conclude he’s not qualified to lead the State Department. https://t.co/kx8FgI16HX

I will not vote to confirm Mike Pompeo as Secretary of State. Shared my thoughts on my Facebook Page: https://t.co/0ZqoR6E9Tm

Corey Booker even did some pathetic virtue signaling where he yelled about gay sex.
Pompeo held his own and answered more than appropriately.
I’d like to add that Booker’s little rampage was an obvious attack on Pompeo’s religion… but no one seems to care.
Earlier today, Sarah Sanders had some harsh words for Democrats: “Democrats have to decide whether they love this country more than they hate this president.”
..ONE just did.
After meeting with Mike Pompeo, discussing his foreign policy perspectives, & considering his distinguished time as CIA Director & his exemplary career in public service, I will vote to confirm Mike Pompeo to be our next Secretary of State.

Wow. Good for him.
And yes, this is big…
Pompeo has the votes for full confirmation now https://t.co/mEVM2eAXuR

Sen. Joe Manchin joins Sen. Heidi Heitkamp as Dems who will vote “yes” on Pompeo.
Confirmation is more or less a done deal now when it gets to the floor (barring some crazy committee dust-up.) https://t.co/LniyEAaEfe— Phil Mattingly (@Phil_Mattingly) April 23, 2018
The Dems must be FUMING.
