Businesses Pressured to Sign "Democracy Pledge" [semi-satire]
Semi-News/Semi-Satire ^ | 28 March 2021 | John Semmens

Glenn Kirschner, an analyst for NBC News and MSNBC, wants every business in America to sign on to the statement that "The 2020 presidential election was free and fair, and produced accurate, reliable results." If they don't he promises to "publish their names and addresses so their customers can take appropriate action to run them out of business."

Kirschner says he "won't accept the excuse of ignorance. Its not a question of what they know. Obviously, they are not in a position to know one way or the other. They didn't scrutinize the ballots, check for IDs, or verify whether machine counts were accurate. It's a matter of what they profess to believe. It's a question of faith. Those who don't have faith in the integrity of the election don't deserve to stay in business."

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) was asked to make a similar pledge by ABC News host George Stephanopoulos. He refused, called for a debate of the issue, and demanded that evidence be scrutinized before reaching a conclusion. Kirschner called this response "unacceptable agnosticism. We can't be united if we can't all share the same faith in our democracy. A difference of opinion might be tolerable in the weeks leading up to an election, but once the votes are counted we all need to come together and support the winner. Anything less than unanimity weakens the country and strengthens our enemies."

Anyone that watched that Tuesday night/Wednesday morning election last November 3 and thinks that it “was free and fair, and produced accurate, reliable results” is simply delusional. Those (mathematically impossible) Biden ballot dumps are all one needs to see. Add the fact that the man hid in his basement most of the year, made an ass of himself constantly, had almost no turnout to his appearances or youtube viewership (and still doesn’t), the democrats fervor to destroy Trump, the democrats encouraging riots all summer.... What a cluster fck the liberal democrats are. They need to be smashed in order for this country to be great again.

Thanks, John, for another fine summary of the scary news of the week, possibly seasoned with hard-to-distinguish satire.
