Arizona Fake Elector Wants The National
Republican Party To Bail Him Out (Maybe
Literally) |
"Turning
Point USA’s Tyler Bowyer is
asking the Republican National Committee to
formally acknowledge that the fake elector
plan was schemed up by Republican leadership
with Donald Trump’s approval, and to
“immediately indemnify” all those who
participated in what he calls the
“contingent elector plan.” “With all of the
problems ahead, we need to send a clear
signal that the RNC will defend those who
serve as electors against Democrat radicals
trying to criminalize civic engagement and
process,” Bowyer said, in a social media
post. “Civic engagement?” That’s what we’re
calling it now, when people sign legal
documents and send them to Congress, avowing
that they were “duly elected” to cast
Arizona’s electoral votes for the guy who
didn’t win?" |

How A Pro-Trump
Youth Group Remade The Arizona GOP, Testing
Democracy |
"Charlie Kirk’s
Turning Point network worked to purge
officials who affirmed the 2020 election
results" [ . . . ] "The two men
huddled at a barbecue joint in January as
the activist — Tyler Bowyer, the
chief operating officer of the pro-Trump
youth group
Turning Point USA — unspooled his
demands: Republican legislators, he
insisted, should carve up booming and
fast-diversifying Maricopa County, diluting
the power of Democrats in a state that had
helped deliver Joe Biden the presidency." |
