Instead of acknowledging Israel’s genocide in Gaza, Dem politicians Mallory McMorrow and Andy Beshear complain about ‘purity tests’ and ‘litmus tests.’
Just speaking for myself, this question is absolutely a litmus test. If you, as a candidate cannot bring yourself to unequivocally denounce genocide and the state of Israel on a moral question as simple as this, I cannot trust you on anything else at all. If you have a worldview that allows you to weasel around such simple right and wrong, you are either a sociopath or have no principles whatsoever. In either case, you don’t deserve my support.
