“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)’.”
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.
The Huffington Post reports:
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.
There’s probably something wrong with this, right?
“The lady doth protest too much, methinks”
WHY is this a continuing concern to them? WHY??
Why don’t we stop letting businesses donate to politics period?
I n my business, I can think of only 2 accounts who would be cancel culture types and they amount to so little, I wouldn’t even notice them being gone.
Nice little business you got here...
Proof positive that the election was stolen.
Former Federal Prosecutor? For Nazi Germany or Stalinist Russia?
He says......“Those who sought to undermine or otherwise refused to acknowledge these (election) results, share responsibility for the civil unrest after the election, culminating in violence at the United States Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.”....
Prove it creep!
This is what the Nazis, Soviets and Chicoms did. If you did not take a pledge etc, things would be very difficult and dangerous.
And, he has “crazy eyes.”
The purple “resistance/color revolution” tie is a nice touch. Matches Hillary’s purple gear.
Whoa! Finish reading later.
Thie former Dem partisan prosecutor has my pledge that he is a dishonest sleazy BS artist
Pledge or we ruin you and your business
“...to take a pledge...”????
Definition of pledge: A solemn binding promise to do, give, or refrain from doing something: signed a pledge never to reveal the secret; a pledge of money to a charity.
Now it is impossible to “pledge” that the election was accurate. It is possible to be a wuss and pledge to never say a word about the election. So the idiot is really trying to get businesses to forswear their 1st amendment rights, among other things.
sooo...unless we deny our “lyin’ eyes” then the charade of the present administration will go “poof”
sounds pretty fragile to me
election was accurate (should have said)
Biden the Great Uniter in action..
The article was explicit: they will maintain a publicly available list of companies who decline to sign on.
If you are on the list, you will be deemed an open enemy of the Left and of the Deep State. The openly admitted purpose of the list will be to make business owners choose sides.
I am glad to be an enemy of the left; I’d be ashamed not to be. How could you look Washington, Lincoln, Grant, Lee or Patton in the face?
