He's trying to get the job as Secretary of state, not in human resources.

Because politics is toxic. If you don't think like me on every issue you are not valid and should be dismissed.

@FreeSpirit1 Chronic passive aggression and subterfuge!

During the Reagan administration, our government’s anti gay bias was transferred to the rest of the world, through our state department.

Until politics are not about social issues, the state department is also about politics

There used to be a large segment of the population who thought owning other human beings as property was a good idea. Should we have wanted leaders who upheld those values too?

@Pikachu Did you hear him saying anything about pushing those ideas?

@Pikachu It was perfectly normal for most of the world long ago. Now there are more slaves on earth than there has ever been. Of course we should not support anyone who would support slavery. Classic rhetorical move though!
