Amid growing rumors of a possible presidential run in 2024, Mike Pompeo is already earning criticism from both sides of the political spectrum.

The former Trump administration Secretary of State recently took to Twitter to express his concerns about the teaching of critical race theory, the academic movement begun in the 1970s, based on the idea racism is a social construct, not merely individual prejudice or bias.


Pompeo's Tweet read:

"If we teach that the founding of the United States of America was somehow flawed. It was corrupt. It was racist. That's really dangerous. It strikes at the very foundations of our country."

Not surprisingly, Pompeo's critics and political adversaries were quick to respond.

They reminded him the founding fathers were well aware of the "flaws" in the constitution.






Other users seriously questioned if Pompeo's statement even reflected true conservative or Christian ideals.

Even former colleagues.






Some also felt pointed out the questionable grammar in Pompeo's tweet.



Should Pompeo run for America's highest political office in 2024, he's already created quite the uphill battle.

For many, it begins with properly constructed sentences.

Mrs. Trump publicly denied any ties to convicted sex offenders Epstein and his procurer Ghislaine Maxwell, saying claims linking her to Epstein are “lies” meant to damage her reputation. She said she met her husband, President Donald Trump at a New York City party in 1998 and did not meet Epstein until 2000, contradicting a witness statement in the Epstein files that alleges Epstein introduced the couple.

Dem Rep. Sarah McBride Perfectly Shames Nancy Mace For Her Transphobic Response To McBride's Condemnation Of Trump

Delaware Democratic Representative Sarah McBride pushed back at South Carolina Republican Representative Nancy Mace after Mace responded with transphobia to McBride's criticism of President Donald Trump's genocidal threat to kill the "whole civilization" of Iran.

Trump has insisted that God supports his war on Iran and declared—before a provisional ceasefire was announced—that "a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again" ahead of a deadline to bomb Iran’s power plants and bridges that legal scholars and world leaders have said would constitute war crimes.

Comedian Explains How Millennials' Midlife Crises Are Different From Past Generations—And He's Spot On

Don't make promises you cannot keep, unless your goal is to hurt someone.

Millennials know that practically better than anyone. They were fed a long and impassioned series of advice, hyper-focused on the importance of getting a college degree in order to find a good job. They were also force-fed traditionalist ideals of getting married, having kids, and buying a nice house with the money they'd be making from that great job, of course.
