John,

On June 26, in the wake of Trump’s criminal mishandling of the COVID-19 pandemic, MSNBC’s Chris Hayes demanded that Trump resign immediately for the health and security of the country.

“As coronavirus cases race back up, the president ignored warnings from his public health experts,” Hayes told his audience on All In With Chris Hayes. “That resulted in tens of thousands of preventable deaths. And we’re looking at tens of thousands more.”

Shockingly, three and a half years into the most corrupt and recklessly incompetent presidency in our history, Hayes is one of the few members of the mainstream media to call for Trump’s resignation. Throughout the corruption, incompetence, lawlessness, and malfeasance that have defined Trump’s presidency, a paltry number of editorial boards and mainstream media columnists and commentators have called on Trump to resign, and an unacceptably small number explicitly endorsed impeachment and removal even when the House was conducting its impeachment investigation.

Sign here to urge publishers, columnists, television commentators, and editorial boards to demand Trump’s resignation.

Mainstream media, by its design, is meant to hold public officials accountable. This was the case during the height of the Watergate scandal and during the impeachment trial of President Clinton. Yet the news media has consistently failed to make that demand in the face of Trump’s persistent failure to put the country’s interests above his narcissistic personal and political interests -- even after his catastrophic response to the pandemic, resulting in the deaths of over 130,000 Americans.

Silence does not protect the American people. It only makes matters worse.

Tell the media establishment: Demand that Trump resign immediately for his failed response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

In solidarity,
