It has been an honor to serve as the U.S. Secretary of State. Today, as I step down from this role as our nation’s top diplomat, I am proud of what we achieved — and I promise to never stop fighting for America

Silencing speech is dangerous. It’s un-American. Sadly, this isn’t a new tactic of the Left. They’ve worked to silence opposing voices for years.
We cannot let them silence 75M Americans. This isn’t the CCP.

We know that the CCP disappeared journalists. We know they silenced doctors. They corrupted the WHO. These are things we know. The CCP must be held accountable for what they did to the U.S. and to the world.
Executing a warrant against ex-POTUS is dangerous. The apparent political weaponization of DOJ/FBI is shameful. AG must explain why 250 yrs of practice was upended w/ this raid. I served on Benghazi Com where we proved Hilliary possessed classified info. We didn’t raid her home
Censorship, wokeness, political correctness, it all points in one direction – authoritarianism, cloaked as moral righteousness. It’s not who we are as Americans. It’s time that we simply put woke-ism to sleep.

, I constantly focused on protecting our great military and all Americans.
If nothing else, our enemies knew: attack our soldiers & you will pay.
I want to thank my wife, Susan, and my son, Nick, for their love, support and sacrifice these last four years. I wouldn’t have been able to do my job and serve America without you. I love you both.
I’m so proud of what you accomplished — but also how you served our country, Dad
@mikepompeo
Four years ago, our family had no idea what God had in store. Hard to concisely sum it up, so I won’t try. But what I will say is that I’ve never been more proud of you than I am today.
We’ve been called all kinds of names. They try to cancel us. The New York Times even called me the “worst Secretary of State in history.”
I wear it as a badge of honor. I will never stop speaking the truth and fighting to defend our freedoms. Neither should you.
By sanctioning me, China is sending a message to the new administration: if you dare to defend Americans and protect their sovereignty & freedom, we’ll punish you personally.
I hope no one will accept this behavior by the CCP. We must stand strong. The American people expect it.
I am pleased to be joining
@HudsonInstitute
as a distinguished fellow, effective Feb. 1. I look forward to contributing to its mission of promoting American leadership and global engagement.
It’s important that we keep putting America First! 🇺🇸
Not only has the CCP destroyed millions of American jobs, but they’re behind the gates. They’re lobbying members of Congress. They’re working our school boards and city councils to try and change our way of life.
We, along with our allies, must take the China threat seriously.

Last Thursday, my father, Wayne Pompeo, passed away in Orange, CA from surgery complications at age 89. We miss him and are lifted by the prayers and memories being sent to us.
I hate to break it to President Biden, but our 40-year-high inflation is not caused by the Russian oil supply or the last Administration. He and his policies are the cause.
We shouldn’t worry about hurting General Secretary Xi’s feelings. We should focus on protecting the American people and championing American values. We must remain tough on China.

Rush Limbaugh made conservatism popular with the entire nation and revolutionized conservative media. He will be missed by all of his “ditto heads,” this one included. Our country has lost one of its most important voices. Sending prayers to the Limbaugh family.
Back to letting China walk all over us? Back to treating terrorists in Iran like friends by sending them pallets of cash? We can’t afford to go back to Obama’s failed foreign policy. We must continue to put America First and stand strong in the face of evil.
I want to arm you with facts that demonstrate the massive accomplishments we had these past four years.
And now that I’m no longer a diplomat, I’m going to let it rip. See you in a couple hours at

Our resistance to socialism and the woke cancel culture is worthy. They can keep calling us deplorables, clowns, ignorant, rednecks — that’s fine. But when it comes to defending our liberty and freedoms, I won’t back down and neither should you.
The quickest way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun. Your rights should never be infringed by the government. I stand — without apology — for your 2nd Amendment rights.
Our biggest challenges today are the threat of the CCP & getting things right at home — we need to grow the economy and return to the traditions that made America so exceptional. If we get those two things right, the sky is the limit for the next generation of America.
President Reagan once said, “If we lose freedom here, there is no place to escape. This is the last stand on earth.”
We must keep our God given rights at the center of our unending quest to secure FREEDOM for all Americans. And I will stand with you in their defense!
Sending more than 5000 troops back in AFTER you withdrew a couple thousand of them is proof that you are disconnected from the reality on the ground and aren't serious about protecting Americans.
“If we lose freedom here, there is no place to escape. This is the last stand on earth.” - President Ronald Reagan
Join me in honoring his memory today on his birthday.
Teaching our children that the United States is an inherently racist or evil country is the most un-American “lesson” there is. Critical Race Theory should NEVER be taught in our classrooms.
When Israel wanted Jerusalem to be its capital, we recognized it. Four years ago, when the ISIS caliphate was the size of Britain, we crushed it. After 50+ years of failed policy towards China, we reversed it.
We must be BOLD — not weak — in order to secure American freedom.
The Biden Administration claims "America is back” - but America didn’t go anywhere. Quite the opposite. We built enormous coalitions all around the world to secure American freedom.
We made America more prosperous and much stronger.
If you live in mainland China, there’s no voter ID required because there’s no voting that takes place. Why does the
@MLB
still do business there? It’s shameful that their decision in Georgia was fact-free, based on what the left-wing media told executives to do.
Requiring Americans to show proof of vaccination, or a ‘vaccine passport,’ in order to engage in society is outrageous and un-American. This isn’t about containing a virus, but is just another dangerous idea from the Left in their quest for more power and control.
Who is benefitting from Biden’s immigration policies? Human traffickers, drug cartels and smugglers. The crisis at the border puts American values, and lives, last.
Happy birthday to my gorgeous, supportive and loving wife, Susan! I thank God every day for blessing me with you. I don’t know what I’d do without you by my side. Love you! ❤️🎂
When Big Tech made the decision to silence President Trump, they silenced the millions of voices that President Trump represented. Our freedom of speech is under attack and we must continue to speak out against it.
Remember when food was affordable, energy was abundant, and Putin was contained? That was just 18 months ago.
Elections have consequences. In November, we must elect conservative leaders who will get America back on track.
Biden delayed his call with Israeli leadership and restarted funding to the Palestinian Authority through the UN — both signal to Hamas & terrorists in the West Bank that America places less value on our relationship with Israel. It matters who leads.
Americans will never forget that President Biden got on national television and said that leaving Americans trapped behind enemy lines was an “incredible success.”
Facebook’s ban of President Trump is yet another overreach in the Left’s crusade to silence conversative voices. We must stand up to this tyranny. Free speech is a fundamental right — and we must fight to defend it.
Our Supreme Court Justices uphold the rule of law, not the emotion of law. Packing the Supreme Court to tilt favorable outcomes brings partisan politics into the courtroom. SCOTUS is the last place we need political games.
