Censure Trump for promising to torture
We demand that the U.S. Senate censure Trump for promising to torture. If the Senate does not censure, it could be morally complicit with horrible crimes.
Why is this important?
During his campaign, Donald Trump promised to murder or torture the family members of suspected terrorists – and even compel resisting soldiers to follow illegal orders to do so. Although Trump later rescinded this promise, he has since vowed to torture again. In light of the presidency’s awesome powers, persons of conscience should act on the assumption that Trump is already torturing in secret.
