Some staff had argued that the speech was 'propaganda' but Pompeo said those wanting to block it had a 'dangerous' instinct toward censorship 

He then said such 'wokeness' was happening 'at Twitter, Facebook, Apple and on too many university campuses' 

'Censorship, wokeness, political correctness, it all points in one direction – authoritarianism, cloaked as moral righteousness,' 

Pompeo said 'This is not who we are, as Americans. It's not what Voice of America should be. It's time to put woke-ism to sleep,' he urged
