On his last full day as the top US diplomat and just one day after Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo deemed multiculturalism to be un-American.

“Woke-ism, multiculturalism, all the -isms – they’re not who America is. They distort our glorious founding and what this country is all about. Our enemies stoke these divisions because they know they make us weaker,” Pompeo said in a tweet.

The US has an extraordinarily diverse population and generally celebrates the hodgepodge of cultures that have helped define it.

Pompeo, who is thought to have ambitions of running for president in 2024, has been a controversial secretary of state.
