Dozens of the president's court picks have refused to say Joe Biden fairly won in 2020. Now his executive nominees are avoiding the question, too.
‘It's a pretty simple question: Did Donald Trump lose the presidential election in 2020?
The answer is yes, clearly. Trump lost to Joe Biden.
Trump has always, to put it lightly, had difficulty accepting this basic fact. And refusing to acknowledge it now appears to be a basic condition for securing Trump's appointment to a powerful government post, with dozens of his nominees twisting themselves in knots to avoid saying he lost in 2020.
All 40 of his nominees to lifetime federal judgeships so far have given misleading or false responses to questions about the 2020 election in the Senate Judiciary Committee. Demand Justice, a progressive judicial advocacy group, has been analyzing judicial nominees' written responses to questions from senators on the panel and found they are nearly identical in their strangely worded, evasive characterizations of the election.
All have been directly asked by the committee, "Did Donald Trump lose the 2020 election?" Instead of just saying yes, they have either pointed to Biden's "certification" by Congress or said Biden "served" as president. Both responses allow them to skip the part about Biden actually winning the election and move on to him simply becoming president.
This is the same tactic Republican lawmakers on Capitol Hill have long used to avoid publicly contradicting Trump's lies about the 2020 election.’

Cowards shouldn’t be Federal judges; blind partisan Trump Cult members shouldn’t be Federal judges; individuals so dishonest shouldn’t be Federal judges.
This is both bizarre and alarming, conservativism at its worst and most reprehensible.
