<p><a href="https://dailywire.com/news/john-kirby-tries-to-defend-biden-on-classified-docs-leaves-out-one-very-important-detail/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">John Kirby</a> took a fair amount of backlash after he declared on Tuesday that LGBTQ rights were a &#8220;core part&#8221; of American foreign policy.</p>
<p>The former Pentagon spokesman — who now serves as the coordinator of strategic communications for the National Security Council — made the comments during a press briefing on Tuesday, saying that because LGBTQ rights were human rights, the Biden administration viewed them as an important part of American foreign policy.</p>

<p>&#8220;President Biden has been nothing but consistent about his belief — foundational belief — in human rights, and LGBTQ+ rights are human rights,&#8221; <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/oh-please-brian-kilmeade-cant-hold-back-when-john-kirby-tries-to-spin-afghanistan-withdrawal-as-great-success/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kirby</a> said. &#8220;We again, back to the earlier question, are never going to shy away or be bashful about speaking up for those rights and for individuals to live as they deem fit, as they want to live – and that&#8217;s something that&#8217;s a core part of our foreign policy.&#8221;</p>
<p>Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo <a href="https://twitter.com/mikepompeo/status/1638580196449067008" target="_blank" rel="noopener">weighed in</a>, arguing that American priorities might be a bit misplaced. &#8220;Our foreign policy should be focused on keeping America safe and prosperous,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>&#8220;If Washington could’ve foreseen this, he prolly wouldn’t have crossed the Delaware &#8230;&#8221; Steve Cortes <a href="https://twitter.com/CortesSteve/status/1638514821472694274" target="_blank" rel="noopener">added</a>.</p>

<p>Florida GOP Chairman Christian Ziegler asked, &#8220;Can we get our diplomats back to being focused on foreign policy and our military back to developing warriors focusing on winning wars? … to me, it sounds like a much better option than being forced to learn Chinese.&#8221;</p>
