Mike Pompeo sounds like presidential candidate in Sarasota speech that slams 'woke left'

[Zorro]

Former U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo checked all the boxes for a Republican presidential candidate in the Trump era, going after the “woke left” and the media while wading into gender politics Thursday during a Sarasota appearance that included a warning about Americans moving away from “Judeo-Christian” values.

Pompeo is widely believed to be considering a presidential run in 2024, and referenced the election in his speech to the Sarasota County GOP, saying some in the crowd suggested “there ought to be something I do in 2024.”

Pompeo didn’t reveal his 2024 plans, but seemed eager to be back at the center of U.S. politics.

“There were some of you who said: 'Well I bet it’s nice to have a break and be out of the fire, to be out of the center,” Pompeo said. “The truth is, I’d give anything to be back there.”

Sarasota Republicans awarded Pompeo "Statesman of the Year" Thursday, one shared with previous awardees Rick Scott and Donald Trump (twice).

They really go out of their way to display their in-your-face assholishness. Small wonder Mike Flynn and other RWNJs have been attracted to the area, which is a shame for such a beautiful community.

4. Epic battle between the woke left and the 'nightmare' right

The somnambulist 'right' oscillates between deep 'un-awakeness' and terrified nightmare dreams.

The right is not awake to reality.

5. Better woke than

- asleep at the switch

- sleepwalking through history

etc.,etc.

Or worse, acting as seditious, grifting conspirators.

Pompeo got out after feathering his own nest and before the real stuff hit the fan. A cya move, of course.
