    Didn’t even respond with the usual “Joe Biden was confirmed as the winner”. Just refusing to answer is an even bigger piss-baby thing to do. It’s a great and simple question to see if you’ll put loyalty to one man above truth, and shows how much integrity you have in one simple question.

    Kind of annoying that they don’t ask them who won in 2024 or 2016 too. Or first. Or a really old one like Reagan.

      Yeah, ‘16 and ‘24 aren’t really contested in Trump’s mind because Trump won those (maybe; lawsuits are pending, etc) but the ‘20 election is contentious for fascist fucks everywhere.

        Yeah but from an interviewing perspective it’s a win-win. Either the guy answers the question for those elections more clearly, showing that he only has a problem answering the one about 2020 and therefore clearly doing it because of the orange man, or he still refuses and he looks like he can’t answer simple questions.

      Not necessarily. A president can pardon someone who was legally convicted. He can’t bottle a pardon for later.

      So if after Trump the big cleanup will come, they all will have to face consequences, until some idiot later president will pardon them.

        Of course they can. Nixon wasn’t convicted, or even charged, yet Ford pardoned him.

    These people are disconnected from reality and need real psychological help. In the meantime, this behavior is not acceptable for anyone in any kind of official position. Hell, this amount of deflection wouldn’t even be acceptable if he were trying to be a fucking barista.

    No offense at all meant to baristas. You have likely worked harder than this clown ever will.

              Yeah I know, I self-censor sometimes because in my head when something is “bleeped” it sounds more offensive 😁
