A Democratic congressional candidate in North Carolina deleted a tweet asking whether Trump supporters with federal positions should be removed from their jobs once the president is out of office.
Mark Judson, an accountant and retired Army officer who is running against two other Democrats for the nomination, posted the question with a Twitter poll on Sunday afternoon.
“Not proposing policy — just seeing where people are on this: In 2021, after Trump is gone, we will be able to tell who 90% of his supporters are via Social Media records,” the tweet from Judson’s verified account said. “Should we fire all of them from any Federal Jobs, to include the military, in order to protect the Nation?”
The poll received at least 12,000 votes before Judson deleted it hours later. At the time, more than 88% of people who responded to the poll said, “No — they [should be] Protected,” rather than the 11% who answered, “Yes — They Are a Danger.”
Judson is running against Christopher Ward, who works in the pharmaceutical and biotech industries, and Robert Colon, who has a certification in water and wastewater management.
The Judson campaign did not respond to a request for comment.
