While many Trump supporters have been quietly disposed of by their employers, this has largely been a policy of businesses to choose with whom they want to associate with as privately owned companies. However, according to Rep. Stephanie Murphy (D-FL), supporters of Donald Trump should be barred from the public sector as well.
Murphy, who is a member of the House Armed Services Committee, has recently proposed a bill that would prevent members of the ‘Stop the Steal’ movement along with subscribers to ‘QAnon’ from being able to obtain security clearances. Security clearances are a necessity for Americans who wish to join the US Military and also a requirement to obtain a number of federal jobs.

This bill would essentially bar any American that has rallied in support of President Trump post-election or publicly voiced concern about election fraud from being able to hold a job in the Armed Forces or any federal law enforcement agency.
According to an article by the Daily Beast:
The legislation, titled the Security Clearance Improvement Act of 2021, requires applicants looking to obtain or renew their federal security clearances to disclose if they participated in the Jan. 6 rally in Washington—or another “Stop the Steal” event—or if they “knowingly engaged in activities conducted by an organization or movement that spreads conspiracy theories and false information about the U.S. government.
The bill inherently targets Trump supporters and anyone questioning the fraudulent results of the 2020 election or just the government in general. Murphy, a vocal supporter of the Black Lives Matter movement, has yet to propose any legislation targeting members of ANTIFA or BLM for their largely unpopular and destructive “Summer of Love” which took the lives of many and resulted in billions of dollars worth of damage.

How does this even pretend to be legal? If you've not been convicted of a crime, your political affiliation should be a non-issue.

If it excludes only those who breached the Capitol or those committed acts of violence at the event, I would have been fine with it. But merely participating at the Jan.6 Capitol protest and other rallies peacefully, or engaging with "organization and movement" is protected by the First Amendment.

Propose a law and see if you can get it passed.
In the meantime it’s discrimination I bet and I suspect you can get sued for it.
Oh and if you think this is justice just wait until scraped info is used against you or a loved one. Your impulsiveness will cost you dearly.

I heard here, after Obama was elected, as justification for firing democrats, that "elections have consequences." Several were in support of this.

That's a pretty big claim to start the article with.

I fully believe it. I've seen it happen in previous jobs. But let's not kid ourselves, we're only mad because the dems are doing it. This was fully supported here when the politics was reversed.

You guys are in the wrong business.

So they're worse in my mind, therefore hypocrisy's okay. Gotcha.
