Former president sidestepped signing state’s loyalty oath, which opponents Nikki Haley and Chris Christie also have not signed
Joe Biden’s 2024 election campaign has lambasted former president and most likely Republican opponent Donald Trump for failing to sign a loyalty oath in the state of Illinois, in which candidates pledge against advocating an overthrow of the government.
The Biden campaign was responding to an investigation by Illinois news outlets WBEZ and the Chicago Sun-Times, which reported that Trump sidestepped signing the McCarthy era voluntary pledge that is part of the midwestern state’s package of ballot-access paperwork submitted by 2024 electoral candidates last week.
That omission came days before the third anniversary of the January 6 insurrection, for which Trump has been indicted for his alleged role in efforts to overturn Biden’s 2020 election victory. It’s a departure from 2016 and 2020, when Trump signed the voluntary oath.
So he couldn’t be bothered to sign a pretend pledge to not overthrow the government? Did we finally find the thing that he wouldn’t lie about?
Why should he lie about it though? His superfans actually want him to become a dictator.
