For the people of Arizona and the United States, this has been another week where the Quisling Putrid Scum members of the Republican Party in both the Grand Canyon State and Washington D.C. showed their true colors.
Not that they really have been hiding them.
Here are some of the latest examples of vile behavior from the Trump Zone-Fox Island-Disinfowar end of the political spectrum.
In Arizona
Kelli Ward: The Arizona Queen election denier of the Presidential Election of 2020 still has not consented to an audit of her January 23 reelection to head the State Republican Party. Advocates wanting the audit have given Ward and her team until March 1 to agree or face court action to compel her to conduct the audit. It appears the election denier is the real election thief. Get out the popcorn again for the latest episode in the Arizona Republican Civil War.
Mark Finchem: It appears Legislative District (LD) 11 Mr. Finchem told a fib about being a legislative fellow at the University of Arizona. That was news to the University whose spokespeople relayed, according to reporting by AZ Central that Finchem "does not now and has never held a fellowship at the law school."
Earlier in the week, an advocacy group filed a complaint against Mr. Finchem for not reporting a $6,000 payment he received from the Trump Reelection Campaign.
No wonder Finchem loves Trump. They share the same talent for dishonesty.
Republican Members of the State Legislature that are out to make it harder for you to vote: Earlier last week, the Government and Elections Committee passed several bills designed to make it more difficult to register to vote, get an early ballot, and receive accurate information to make a decision on what to cast a ballot for. As this writer has stated several times, beware of the people that want to suppress your ability to vote. They are not here to help you and are not true public servants.
Republican Members of the State Legislature that cruelly want Mothers to carry Fetuses to Term that have been shown to have genetic defects.
Republicans on the State Senate Judiciary Committee, on a party-line vote, passed a cruel measure on February 24, 2021, that would force mothers to carry fetuses to term that have been shown to have genetic defects.
Again, this legislation, possibly designed as a test case to go before the United States Supreme Court, is cruel. No one should deny a mother the right to terminate a pregnancy if doctors tell her the fetus/unborn child she is carrying has genetic defects that would lead to a shortened life, great suffering, or both. Who are these legislators that think they can play God with a mother and sick child?
Washington D.C.
Liz Cheney: Only three Republican Representatives voted for the 2021 Equality Act that provides protection for members of the LGBTQ Community. Cheney, whose sister is a Lesbian, was not one of them. She is brave enough to speak out against Trump but weak to stick up for her sister. Not exactly a profile in courage in this case.
Majorie Taylor Greene: The resident Q'Anon nut job of the House of Representative set a new low (yes it is possible) by putting a banner on her outside office wall that said "There are two genders: Male and Female. Trust the science" after Representative Marie Newman, a parent of a transgender child had put a transgender pride flag outside her office to mock Greene's opposition to the Equality Act.
Ron Johnson: Another week, another outlandish claim by Wisconsin's mentally challenged Senator. This time, at the Senate Committee hearing investigating why Capitol Security did not adequately meet the challenge of the Trumpist Domestic Terrorist attackers at the Nation's Capitol on January 6, 2021, Mr. Johnson put forth an outlandish claim, championed by the fringe right, that the attackers were provoked by law enforcement or were leftists masquerading as Trumpists. The people of Wisconsin can find a better Senator that is grounded in reality in 2022.
Kevin McCarthy and Mitch McConnell: Both House and Senate Minority Leaders have voiced opposition to the composition and scope of January 6, 2021, Commission. McConnell's main issue is his worry that the Commission would focus too much on how the Trumpist Domestic Terrorists were recruited and incited to attack the Capitol.
Duh.
Mitch McConnell: He makes the list twice. Weeks after saying Trump was guilty of inciting the Domestic Terrorist attack on the Nation's Capitol (but still voting to acquit him at the record second impeachment trial,) McConnell inexplicably told Fox News that he would support Donald Trump if he won the 2024 Presidential Nomination.
Enemy of the People-Obstructionist in Chief-Moscow Mitch has no soul.
Rand Paul: How did he get a medical degree? At a confirmation hearing for Dr. Rachel Levine, the first transgender woman to be nominated for an Executive Branch post (Assistant Health Secretary,) Dr. (yes, it is hard to believe) Paul decided this was the right time to question her about hormone therapy for minors.
To their credit, Senators Patty Murray (the Chairperson of the Committee overseeing the Levine Nomination) and Tammy Baldwin condemned Paul for his moronic, inaccurate, and disrespectful approach.
Steve Scalise: The number two Republican in the House of Representatives could not bring himself to admit to Jonathan Karl of ABC News that Joe Biden did not steal the election from Donald Trump. He hemmed and hawed in the exchange, still clinging to baseless charges of voter fraud and state courts overextending themselves on allowing early ballots.
It may be progress that he admitted the electors confirmed Biden's election.
Republican Senators that are giving Biden/Harris Nominees like Neera Tanden, Deb Haaland, Xavier Becerra, and others a hard time for no good reason.
Some Republican Senators who have nothing better to do but be no governing obstructionist hypocrites have attempted to put up roadblocks to several Biden/Harris nominees for reasons that should have forced them to vote against virtually all of the Trump/Pence Nominees. They need to cut the crap and confirm all of the deserving Biden/Harris Nominees.
Republican House Members who voted against the Equality Act and the American Rescue Plan.
By the end of today, the great majority of the Republican House Caucus will vote against the American People by casting their ballots opposing the Equality Act (which passed yesterday) and the American Rescue Plan (which will be decided today (February 26, 2021.)
How can the American People vote for people that do not believe in:
- Protecting members of the LGBTQ Community from harassment?
- Helping the American People combat the COVID 19 Pandemic and make ends meet through this public health emergency. How can Republicans vote against funds for vaccine distribution, unemployment insurance, cash payments to people in need, reducing child poverty, and reopening schools? That is what most of them will be doing today.
Look at the former Party of Lincoln. It is not a pleasant sight. Their members are mostly individuals who are:
- Anti-American People.
- Anti Democracy.
- Anti Republic.
- Anti Constitution.
- Anti Reality.
- Anti Education.
- Anti Equality.
The Lincoln Project captured this perfectly in one of their latest ads called "The New Republican Party."
This New Republican Party is a show that should close on its first night. The Quisling Putrid Scum Actors in this horror movie do not need to be rewarded with reelection. Stop them at the ballot box in 2022, 2024, and beyond.
