This absurd story didn’t begin Thursday. It began in Nov when Senate Pres Warren Petersen chose Wendy Rogers as Chair of a committee. And when GOP hosted True The Vote at a legislative hearing in May ‘22. Cyber Ninjas before that. Thursday is fruit of a vine.

A reminder, none of this is normal. A look at AZ Republicans publicly endorsing Democrats for top offices, citing MAGA movement. Includes insight from conservative writer @RJRobb . Kelli Ward did not respond to our requests for an interview. @12news

These Arizona conservative candidates publicly oppose MAGA candidates

Conservatives around the state are bucking the party and warning against the MAGA movement. The question is, how many fellow Republicans feel that way?

1/4 On May 31st, a group of GOP legislators led by State Rep Shawnna Bolick gave the "2,000 Mules" creators their own hearing. Big platform. The movie creators were applauded, praised. They assured the crowd the AG and FBI had or WOULD have the evidence. Never happened. @12News
