Ben Carson’s remarks about whether he would accept the results of the 2024 presidential election regardless of which party wins falls in line with a recent Republican trend that’s causing a stir among social media users.

On CNN’s Laura Coates Live on Thursday night, Coates asked Carson, the former Secretary of Housing and Urban Development: “Will you accept the results of the 2024 election, regardless of who wins, yes or no?”

Carson replied: “I will accept the results if it’s done in a fair and transparent way.”

    This is the MAGA litmus test. If they don’t answer this question right, Trump won’t pick them for any cabinet positions. They’re all angling for power in a Trump White House.

      And as another commenter said, its fucken terrifying these outlets aren’t forcing them to define “fair and transparent”.

      As one of my favorite lines from the legend David Bowie, “You say that a lot, I wonder what your frame of reference is.”
