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." |
