Des Moines, Iowa — Former Secretary of State and potential 2024 presidential candidate Mike Pompeo says Christian conservatives should never give an inch as they pursue their political goals.
Pompeo addressed over a crowd of 12-hundred Friday at The Family Leader’s summit in Des Moines. Pompeo began by joking he’s an unemployed diplomat.
While Pompeo touted the “America First” approach to foreign policy he pursed as President Trump’s chief foreign diplomat, Pompeo spent the vast majority of his speech discussing his faith and domestic issues.
Pompeo says Christians are right to feel threatened and concerned about what they’re seeing in the culture and the government.
Pompeo is the first of three potential candidates for the Republican party’s next presidential nomination to speak at Friday’s event in Des Moines. South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem and former Vice President Mike Pence were also scheduled to speak. Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds addressed the crowd Friday morning.
