Oregon Gubernatorial Candidate, Betsy Johnson, And Donald Trump

Every partisan election in the United States this November is about Donald Trump. The views of Oregon’s gubernatorial candidates Democrat Tina Kotek and Republican Christine Drazan regarding Republican leader Trump are obvious and well known. However, because candidate Betsy Johnson is running as an independent candidate she obviously considers it not in her best interests to discuss her opinions of Donald Trump’s lies, behavior and values.

To set the record straight for all Oregon voters I have asked Betsy Johnson three definitive questions.

1. Will you publicly declare that Donald Trump is a liar and has conned his followers into accepting that the 2020 election was “stolen” and that he is the rightful President?

2. Will you publicly declare that you agree with President Biden that Donald Trump and his MAGA Republicans are a clear and present danger to American democracy?

3. Will you publicly declare that from the public record alone Donald Trump has obviously committed criminal acts before, during and after his time in public office?

I recommended a review of President Biden’s recent speech in Philadelphia *1, the January 6th committee hearings *2, the Mueller Report *3 as well as criminal and civil investigations in New York and Georgia. In addition, the overwhelming public evidence of the indisputable theft of confidential and highly secret government documents at his home in Florida will provide overwhelming evidence and clarity for Betsy Johnson's answers.

Every Oregon voter deserves to know millionaire heiress Betsy Johnson’s answers to these questions. Her claims to believe in government and election transparency are already diminished by her Trump like refusal to make public her tax returns as have Tina Kotek, Christine Drazan and Joe Biden.

Betsy Johnson has clearly indicated that her answers to all the questions above are NO, NO and NO. The same as Trump Republican Christine Drazan, NO, NO and NO.

Dear Reader, If you want to confirm whether or not Betsy Johnson has taken any action to disprove NO, NO, NO answers to the questions above then I urge you to contact her on her website (https://www.runbetsyrun.com), via email (info@runbetsyrun.com), on the phone ((971)413-9436), by US mail (PO BOX 42307 Portland, OR 97242) or directly at some campaign event (see her website for details). If she gives you any answers other than NO, NO, NO tell me about it and send me whatever evidence Betsy’s gives you.
