Rep. Quang Nguyen Is Unfit To Lead This Crucial Legislative Committee

 
"Arizona cannot move beyond the partisan extremism of the past eight years if the Republican Party continues to place extremists into positions of power in our state.

Voters’ rejection of hardline extremists for Arizona’s U.S. Senate seat, governor, secretary of state and attorney general should have made this clear.

However, House Speaker-elect Ben Toma is clearly not listening.

His appointment of Rep. Quang Nguyen of Prescott, an admitted member of the antigovernment group the Oath Keepers, as chair of the House Judiciary Committee sends a dangerous message of support to the extremists in his party and is a direct insult to the rule of law.
 
Nguyen is a member of the Oath Keepers

[...]

The Judiciary Committee is responsible for vetting most, if not all of the proposed bills impacting the fair administration of justice in our state. This can include such important topics as new criminal statutes, victims’ rights, individual rights, criminal sentencing and policing, just to name a few.

[...]

Simply put, Nguyen’s membership in the Oath Keepers should disqualify him as a member of all House committees. However, placing him in charge of the Judiciary Committee is a grave insult to our democracy and the rule of law.
 
He is not violent, but the organization is
 
The failed attempt to violently overthrow the U.S. government and reinstall a legitimately defeated president on Jan. 6, 2021, showed our nation exactly who the Oath Keepers are. The founder of the Oath Keepers, Stewart Rhodes, was recently convicted of seditious conspiracy by a federal jury. The conviction stemmed from Rhodes’ plot to use force to block the presidential transfer from Trump to Joe Biden, and the coordinated efforts of his fellow gang members to carry out the plan."
