Bill Bennett: Being Anti-Gay Marriage Has Nothing To Do with Pompeo’s Work in North Korea

RUSH EXCERPT:

BENNETT: "It tells you how ugly things are in Washington. How narrow and shortsighted the Democrats are. Jack Keane laid that out a very well. With one correction to my friend. At the esteemed and admired a jack Keane. Some of the diplomacy that Ronald Reagan practice. Haswell and his meetings with gorbachev. That aside, this is huge. It is monumental. You are talking about nuclear security, you’re talking about a possible diplomatic solution. And here’s the guy who went and had that conversation. Diplomatically. And at the Democrats are talking about opposing him. I heard a couple of Democrats on TV today, saying well, he is not really enthusiastic about gay marriage. A seriously? Is that what we are talking about? And Barack Obama and the Clintons were not up for it until a few years ago. These are not the grounds on which you decide the secretary of state. The other kind of opposition, Rand Paul, again, a person I respect. It is just mistaken, Martha. I mean, he went diplomatically. He did not go to put something secret and Kim Jong-un’s cup of tea. This is a secret mission. He can be a very effective diplomat. Let me just say as well, along with a one or two other people, this is about the best resume in America right now. Number one, from the U.S. Academy, top of his class on Harvard law school, the hearings that showed what a bright and thoughtful, decent guy he is. So Democrats do this, and if they do it, it could hurt that meeting. That meeting might not take place. It might not take place under the right kind of atmosphere. That will be a price that they will have to pay for a very long time. Think of the downside of losing this."
