6 Republican Lawmakers Push Legislation To Ensure Trump Can Stay On Arizona’s Ballot |
|
|
|
"Six Republican lawmakers are pushing legislation to ensure former President Donald Trump can stay on Arizona’s ballot, regardless of claims that he violated the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. In other states, the case has been made that the 14th Amendment’s insurrection clause disqualifies Trump from running for president or holding public office. Arizona’s Democratic Secretary of State Adrian Fontes says current state law doesn’t allow him to unilaterally remove Trump from the ballot, but that a decision from the court could potentially have that outcome." |

The COVID Vaccine Deniers And QAnon Believers Coming To Speak At The Arizona Legislature |
May 23, 2023 |
|
"A special committee created by the Arizona legislature to examine the state’s response to COVID-19 will feature a litany of speakers who have spread disinformation about the pandemic, vaccines, spoken at QAnon events and have conspiratorial beliefs about the virus, including believing it will usher in the “mark of the beast.”" |
[ . . . ] |
|
"The “Novel Coronavirus Southwestern Intergovernmental Committee” will hold two days of hearings on May 25 and May 26 at the Arizona Capitol, during which a string of ostensible experts will tell the state and federal Republican lawmakers on the panel their opinions on the pandemic, and Arizona’s response to it. |
|
The Republican elected officials on the panel include state Sens. T.J. Shope and Janae Shamp, the chair and vice-chair, respectively, of the state Senate’s Health and Human Services Committee; state Rep. Steve Montenegro, who chairs the state House of Representatives’ Health and Human Services Committee; and U.S. Reps. Andy Biggs, Eli Crane and Paul Gosar." |
|
[ . . . ] |
|
"Extremist researchers on Twitter were quick to note that the various groups sponsoring the committee had begun promoting it by the acronym, NCSWIC, which is commonly used within the QAnon community to stand for “Nothing Can Stop What Is Coming.” It most often refers to an unfounded belief that “Deep State” collaborators will soon be arrested." |

Crazy/Stupid
Republican
of the Day —
Steve
Montenegro |
"Montenegro is
the son of a
Pentacostal
minister,
and is
ordained
himself. But
after he
supported SB
1070, a
local
Christian AM
radio
station
began to get
phone calls
from the
Montenegro’s
church,
saying that
they were
illegal
immigrants
who went
there, and
that they
had donated
money
towards
Montenegro’s
college.
Montenegro,
of course,
claims it
was
“scholarships,
loans, and
help from
his family”.
Either way, a
lot of the
Hispanic
community
accuse him
of being a
sellout" |

Arizona Bill Punishes Even Peaceful Protesters When Events Turn Violent |
"If the bill becomes law, prosecutors could seize the assets of protesters, even if they didn't participate in any violence. The bill would add rioting to the list of offenses that could be charged under Arizona's Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization laws." |
