To: The United States Senate
Senators: Block Trump's War Cabinet
Block Trump's War Cabinet and his march to war! Reject the nominations of pro-torture, Islamophobic warmonger Mike Pompeo as Secretary of State and of torturer Gina Haspel as CIA Director, and publicly condemn war criminal John Bolton as national security adviser.
Why is this important?
Donald Trump is marching us toward war—or multiple wars—if his latest nominees and appointees are and indication.
Mike Pompeo, Trump's pick to run the State Department, opposes diplomatic agreements, supports torture, and has publicly spoken about the war "between the Christian West and the Muslim East" and received the top award from a known anti-muslim hate group. We cannot trust him to run the U.S. State Department.
Gina Haspel has defended the CIA use of torture. We cannot trust her to run the CIA.
John Bolton has a history of bad decisions that have contributed to massive loss of life. He was a booster for the Iraq War. More recently, he penned an op-ed on the case for war with North Korea. He just can't be trusted at all.
Trump pushed out his secretary of state and national security adviser who had helped restrain Trump's desire for war. His new appointees would be far worse—putting us all at risk.
As a first step to blocking a reckless war cabinet, and preventing unnecessary and costly wars: The Senate and must reject Pompeo's nomination as Secretary of State.
