Democrats, including at least one former aide to Hillary Clinton, express outrage that Secretary of State Mike Pompeo will speak Friday at the Values Voter Summit, a 12-year-old annual event focused on traditional family values.
In a story about the flap published Tuesday, ignores speeches Clinton gave to politically charged groups while she was secretary of state from 2009 through early 2013.
Among indignant Democrats quoted was Philippe Reines, an aide to Clinton when she was President Barack Obama's first secretary of state who also was a key player in her two campaigns for president.
Clinton spoke while secretary of state to the Planned Parenthood Federation of America Gala in Houston on March 27, 2009.
At the time, Reines was Clinton's deputy assistant secretary of state for strategic communications.
Reines told Politico: "It's sort of a given when you become secretary of state that you are representing the United States, and it's particularly important to represent a unified country."
"Secretary Pompeo will continue to advance US foreign policy interests as he continues to advocate on behalf of the oppressed."
