Alabama Republican Party Chairman Terry Lathan made the following statement regarding Mike Pompeo’s confirmation as Secretary of State:
“The Alabama Republican Party congratulates and supports Mike Pompeo on his confirmation as our nation’s Secretary of State. First in his class at West Point Military Academy, a law graduate of Harvard, a three term Kansas congressman and Director of the CIA, Mr. Pompeo is highly qualified to lead our nation. It was shameful to watch 42 U.S. Senators make a political ‘obstruction production’ out of his confirmation when Mr. Pompeo is such a qualified patriot. The successful meeting Mr. Pompeo recently held with North Korea’s leader Kim Jong Un is a perfect example of his steady and focused ability to act as a strong Secretary of State. We have no doubt that he will serve America with strength, honor and resolve as he upholds our nation’s security and makes President Trump’s America First agenda a top priority.”
