Houston Journalists Must Ask Republicans If They Support Trump & His Plans

Every journalist covering local politics has the opportunity each day to ask every elected Republican in Houston and Harris County the following questions:

1. Are you voting for Donald Trump? 
2. Do you agree with Trump's calls for violence if he loses and dictatorship if he wins?
3. Will you accept the results if Donald Trump loses?
4. Will you accept the results if Ted Cruz loses?
5. Do you support mass round up of migrants as Donald Trump is saying he will conduct?
6. Do you support Project 2025?
7. Do you agree with JD Vance that people without children should have fewer rights than people with children?   

There are plenty more questions that could be asked. The upshot is that there is no doubt the Republican Party is an extremist & anti-democratic outfit. Shouldn't Republican elected officials be held accountable?

Maybe reporters would lose access to political figures if they asked these questions. Isn't it worth the risk? Is it really so important to have access to authoritarians and bigots? Aren't journalists supposed to be going after the big story?

I'd say one of our two major political parties refusing to accept election results and embracing authoritarianism is the biggest story in town.
