Andy Biggs backs Rusty Bowers' opponent, a guy who says the devil stole the 2020 election

 

It’s payback time for House Speaker Rusty Bowers. The daggers have been sharpened, honed and otherwise serrated and they are coming for him.

 

No less than Donald Trump, Arizona’s own Rep. Andy Biggs and state GOP Chairwoman Kelli Ward are backing Bowers’ opponent in his state Senate race — a guy who believes the devil stole the 2020 election from Donald Trump.

No, seriously.

 

“This is a real conspiracy headed up by the devil himself,” former state Sen. David Farnsworth explained, during last week’s Clean Elections debate for the Senate seat in Mesa’s Legislative District 10.

 

Apparently, embracing fringe characters who believe in Biblical election conspiracies has become something of a thing for some of our leading lights.

 

Better that, apparently, than supporting a lifelong diehard conservative Republican who committed the unpardonable sin of holding onto his integrity when Trump came calling.

Bowers wouldn't give in to the crazy


Bowers is one of those rare Republican officials who declined to give into the collective psychosis that descended upon Arizona after Joe Biden was elected president.

 

While the likes of Ward and state Rep. Mark Finchem and U.S. Rep. Paul Gosar were throwing an absolute tantrum about a “stolen” election and plotting to reverse it, Bowers was the adult in the room, asking a simple question: Where’s the evidence to back up your claims?

 

Then he had the audacity to testify last month before the House Select Committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection, detailing phone calls from Trump, Biggs and others, pressuring him to overturn the results of Arizona's election.

 

So now it’s time for payback.

Sarah Palin Tied to Builder Who Allegedly Bribed Trump Administration

 

One of ex-Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin’s biggest business partners is an Arizona developer a House committee accused earlier this year of using political ties to access—and ultimately bribe—the Trump administration into letting a massive Grand Canyon state project proceed.

 

Palin revealed her dealings with Scottsdale-based El Dorado Holdings in disclosures she made to the House clerk’s office as part of her bid for Alaska’s vacant congressional district. The filings show that the one-time Republican vice-presidential hopeful holds stakes worth as much as half a million dollars in a pair of limited liability companies El Dorado controls.

 

The Palin campaign did not respond to repeated requests for comment.

 

El Dorado became the epicenter of national controversy when a U.S. Fish and Wildlife field supervisor claimed in 2019 that he’d come under politically motivated pressure from then-President Donald Trump’s Department of the Interior to reverse his position on permitting requirements for a 28,000-unit planned development in Benson, Arizona. In May of this year, the House Committee on Natural Resources sent a criminal referral to the Department of Justice, urging it to investigate what Chairman Raul Grijalva (D-AZ) described as a case of “criminal bribery.”

Profile of a GOP voter: Meddling Dems target hunters, country music lovers

 

Democrats boosting a hard-right Republican gubernatorial candidate in Maryland are targeting a particular brand of voter: she loves hunting and country music, has no interest in yoga or public libraries and lives in one of America's wealthiest ZIP codes.

 

Driving the news: Those are just a few of the targeting criteria for a Democratic Governors Association ad campaign touting Republican Dan Cox's conservative bona fides ahead of Tuesday's Maryland GOP primary, according to Meta ad targeting data.

 

It's one of a handful of GOP primaries across the country in which Democrats have meddled on behalf of hard-right Republicans seen as easier general election targets than more moderate contenders.


Why it matters: If those apparent efforts to elevate spoiler candidates backfire, the result would be powerful elected officials with fringe views on issues ranging from abortion to "election integrity."

 

Newly released Facebook and Instagram targeting data offer a detailed look behind the tactics.


What's happening: Tuesday's primary pits Cox, who's been endorsed by former President Trump, against Kelly Schulz, who's backed by Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan, a centrist Republican.

 

DGA's Cox ads hype him as a pro-Trump die-hard who's anti-abortion and pro-gun rights and who wants to overturn the 2020 election results.


Cox is "the MAGA candidate" and "Trump's pick for Maryland," they say.


While a likely liability in a general election, those are the sorts of "attacks" sure to boost a Republican in a closed primary system like Maryland's.

 

The big picture: DGA's Cox ads come amid apparent efforts by other Democrats to elevate right-wing candidates seen as less electable.

 

Hard-right Republican gubernatorial hopefuls Doug Mastriano in Pennsylvania and Kari Lake in Arizona have both benefitted.


Democrats are betting those candidates will be easier to beat in November. But some have warned the tactic could result in the election of extremist or conspiratorial candidates at a time when some Democrats are arguing democracy is under threat.

So Maryland is getting Moore Cox?

 

🤔

 

His success yesterday was propelled by a Democratic special interest group that wanted a weaker opponent for Moore/Perez/Franchot in the general. What made things more challenging for for Shultz was that Hogan's popularity came from broad support of the voting population but not amongst the Trumpy losers. And apparently they were motivated.

This is what happens when separation of church and state is ignored. We get God and the Devil, two made up entities that don't really exist. These non-entities are brought into politics and are used to control human beings.
