1. Most meetings of federal agencies are supposed to be public

unless matters of national security or trade secrets are being discussed. If only "faith-based" media are invited it's not going to be confidential information. This is the federal open meetings law: https://law.justia.com/codes/us/2012/title-5/part-i/chapter-5/subchapter-ii/section-552b/ Somebody needs to make a FOIA request, at least. There is also the issue of whether the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment applies.

They just used a religious purity test for a public venue.

5. Pompeo and His Cronies at State are Openly Violating the Establishment Clause of the Constitution

We have to find a way to vote these extremist religious zealots out of office. They are destroying our democracy from within.

9. FOIA Request probably already submitted.

the info will be released a few month's hence, but no one will care enough to get upset by the reporting at that point.

in other words, move along, libtard.

outrage fatigue.

11. I'm sorry, but what the fuck is the "faith-based media"?

Arghhhhhhh! Someone just shoot me!

where you hope and prey you get the truth, but the reality is your listening to a Trump appointee and it's all lies anyways.
