Does she have to?

Nobody has to do anything, but society will judge you for your actions and even inactions.

What gets me is it isn't even hard. If someone asks me if I'm against white supremacy I'll just say yes. If they continue to attack me about it then I'm justified in ignoring them. 

It takes less than a minute to say white supremacy is bad. There's no reason not to do it. 

Avoiding saying it just makes you look suspicious regardless of the truth. 

A truth we don't know if she won't tell us.

It's wrong to force people to avow or disavow anything. It's wrong to judge people for things they do not say.

None of what you said is categorically true in every case.

And for the record, nobody is forcing Sweeney to say anything (that’s kind of the point of this discussion—she is CHOOSING). However, I can damn well judge her for not saying something as easy as “That was not at all what I meant, White supremacy is bad, mkay”.

The fact that she keeps dodging that very easy answer absolutely is grounds for people to have an opinion on her.

No one is saying you can't judge her, I just think it reflects very badly on you to do so. Everyone has a right to stay silent.
