Every candidate
needs to be asked
where they stand

We have had more than enough of Donald J. Trump, his corrupt Supreme Court majority and his Republican amen corner!

With all the suffering Trump has caused for people in America and all over the world, he now chooses to laser focus on Reflecting Pool “vandalism” and the Save America Act, which is supposed to protect us from “voter fraud.”

Yet, both of these issues are based on big lies that Trump just pulled out of thin air.

We now call on the media to ask every candidate for office, in New York State and throughout the country, two questions:

1) “Do you believe that Joe Biden fairly won the 2020 election?” and

2) “Do you believe that the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool was vandalized?”

If a candidate refuses to answer, hedges, or gives any response besides 1) “YES” and 2) “NO”, that would make it clear that he or she is just another Trump toady, who is utterly unworthy of any American’s vote!
