Mike Pompeo Blasted After Trying To Absurdly Claim That Multiculturalism Is 'Not Who America Is'

As the Trump administration leaves office, many of its most notable figures have been positioning themselves politically for the future.

Republican Mike Pompeo, Trump's Secretary of State, tweeted a controversial message, saying:


"Woke-ism, multiculturalism, all the -isms—they're not who American is. They distort our glorious founding and what this country is all about. Our enemies stoke these divisions because they know they make us weaker."

Pompeo's tweet was immediately called out for its nonsensical, racist White supremacist message.

Obviously, multiculturalism has been central to American history since its "glorious founding." Apparently Pompeo missed the part of history where White people are not Indigenous to the Americas so "multiculturalism" is the only reason he is living in the United States instead of back in Italy where his family emigrated from.

Twitter's racism watchdog gave Pompeo's racist, xenophobic post multiple woofs.

There was a bright side however.


Though Pompeo tweeted this on his last full day of being the Secretary of State, it didn't stop many online from being disturbed by the message.



Pompeo claims to be worried about "censorship," but can't wait to erase the multiple cultures which lead him to his position.



There were many online who asserted "multiculturalism" is the very thing that makes the United States great.



Pompeo's political future is uncertain, but he would certainly enter office with his fair share of critics.


Maybe before his next run for public office, Mike Pompeo should take a quick U.S. history course to try and understand the role of multiculturalism in our "glorious founding."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
