基督教也批评蓬佩奥的,节选一个美国报纸的文章的几句Pompeo has been lying. He has brought shame to the evangelical Christians in the US, misusing their trust in the Republican party. He is no doubt a degenerate politician and despicable from the perspective of religion.
US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo recently has kept spreading lies or misleading the public.
It is generally believed that Pompeo is a devout evangelical Christian. Sometimes he even "preaches" at diplomatic occasions, for which he was criticized. It seems that he does not care about being a subject of controversy. Nonetheless, his lying for political purposes is contrary to his label as a so-called "devout Christian."
It is widely known that Christian doctrine opposes lying - it's a sin. A false witness shall not go unpunished. And he that utters lies shall perish. From the "Ten Commandments, the ninth says, "You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.

6月1日,特朗普就非裔美国人乔治·弗洛伊德之死引发的抗议示威发表全国讲话。随后,他在司法部长巴尔、国防部长埃斯珀等人陪同下,步行穿过提前清场的白宫北侧区域,来到一街之隔的圣约翰圣公会教堂门前拍照。

“我认为这是一张美美的照片。”特朗普在采访中称,“我要告诉你,我认为基督徒们(也)会认为那是一张美美的照片。”
报道称,特朗普发表上述言论的几个小时前,美国最高军事将领、参谋长联席会议主席陆军上将马克·米利就此前陪特朗普去教堂拍照一事道歉。美国国防部长埃斯珀此前则表示,他1日随总统造访教堂前并不知道会有“摆拍”。
当被问及是否认为这些表态“至关重要”时,特朗普回答说,“不,我不觉得。”
随后,他话锋一转,开始细数自己跟军方关系有多好。
“我的意思是,如果他们是这么想的,我认为这没问题。”特朗普说,“我与军方的关系很好。我重建了我们的军队......我们从奥巴马总统和拜登手中接管军队那会儿,军方就是一个笑话。”
