The left thinks disputing the election should be a thought crime?
A former federal prosecutor, Glenn Kirschner, has launched a campaign to force “every business in America” to take a pledge that states, in part, that “The 2020 presidential election was free and fair, and produced accurate, reliable results.”
Any American business refusing to take this pledge, regardless of their own personal beliefs, will presumably be subjected to the cancel mob.
A former federal prosecutor has launched a campaign to press American businesses to openly reject the core assertion that former President Donald Trump and many in his party continue to make, that the 2020 election was somehow illegitimate.
“The 2020 presidential election was free and fair, and produced accurate, reliable results,” reads the explanation behind the “Democracy Pledge” that Glenn Kirschner hopes to put before “every company in the country” in the coming months. “Those who sought to undermine or otherwise refused to acknowledge these results, share responsibility for the civil unrest after the election, culminating in violence at the United States Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.”
The pledge includes a declaration of “valuing, affirming and supporting democracy,” and of affirming “that the election of Joseph R. Biden and Kamala Harris was free, fair and legitimate.”
The final piece asks companies to “not support, donate to or endorse politicians, political campaigns or political action committees that promoted false conspiracy theories surrounding the 2020 presidential elections (or otherwise acted in ways contrary to a representative democracy).”
“What we’re trying to do is force companies’ hands so they can’t be agnostic,” Kirschner said.
...
Kirschner comes across as a totalitarian jerk. There are many people in this country who still dispute some of the outcomes in the 2020 election. Some swing states are already uncovering what they think are violations of the state law and the Constitution in the handling of the election. There is nothing wrong with allowing these investigations to go forward. Trying to shut them down is anti-democratic. It is also one of the reasons for the demonstrations following the election. If you really want to see people accept the Biden election, let the investigations go forward and let the chips fall where they may.
