_ ā€œIf you say the election wasnā€™t stolen, do you really think youā€™re going to get hired?" ex-RNC staffer says_

The Republican National Committee is asking prospective job candidates if they believe the 2020 election was stolen in a ā€œlitmus tests of sortsā€ following the Trump-backed purge of the party committee, according to theĀ Washington Post.

Trump advisers have ā€œquizzedā€ multiple employees who worked in key 2024 states about their views on the 2020 election, according to the report.

ā€œWas the 2020 election stolen?ā€ one prospective employee recalled being asked in a room with two top Trump advisers.

The question has ā€œstartledā€ some potential employees who view it as ā€œquestioning their loyalty to Trump,ā€ according to the Post.
