Iowa’s Steve King Wants to Know What Non-Whites Have Contributed to Society

Questions for Charlie Copeland and all Delaware Republicans Running for Office

Charlie Copeland has said that he fully supports Donald Trump and the GOP platform. Furthermore, he has said that the party is unified in that support. So, I wonder if he, and all Republican candidates for office, would be willing to answer the following questions:
  • Do you agree that abortion in Delaware should be illegal in all cases, with no exceptions for rape or women’s health?
  • Do you support that passage of a law requiring the Bible to be taught in all Delaware public schools?
  • Do you agree that being anti-abortion, and anti-gay rights should constitute a litmus test for appointing “family values” judges to Delaware courts?
  • Do you reject any and all gun control measures in Delaware out hand?
This is Trump's GOP. It is the agenda that Charlie Copeland has pledged his and his party's loyalty to. Whether or not Republican office seekers are willing to answer those questions, at least they should be asked.

But, my God, that first night. Either a speech sounded better in its original German, or it sounded better when Michelle Obama first delivered it. Jail Melania Trump for theft!
