GOP Candidates For Congress Continue To
Argue Elections Were Stolen, Government
Corrupt |
|
"Some Republican
candidates running for Congress in Arizona's
8th district continue to argue that the 2020
and 2022 elections in Arizona were stolen
from their party and made those complaints a
central theme of a Wednesday forum." [ . . .
] "The 8th Congressional District forum was
hosted by conservative activist Merissa
Hamilton, who lost a bid for Phoenix
mayor in 2020 and now runs a political group
called EZAZ.org. Jenna Rayne, an Arizona
State University student and chair of the
West Valley Young Republicans, moderated the
forum with Hamilton.
Abe Hamadeh, who lost a bid for Arizona
attorney general last year and continues to
file lawsuits challenging that outcome,
Masters, and state Sen.
Anthony Kern participated.
Jacob Chansley, often known as the QAnon
Shaman for his protest persona, attended the
event but was not allowed to speak because
he plans to run as a Libertarian and the
event was for Republican candidates only,
according to the hosts." |

HRC On Hamilton’s Anti-LGBTQ Rhetoric |
|
Oct. 2, 2020 |
| |
| "In
response to Phoenix Mayoral
Candidate
Merissa Hamilton
in a private Facebook group
spewing hateful anti-LGBTQ
rhetoric as revealed by the
Arizona Republic, HRC
Arizona State Director
Bridget Sharpe issued the
following statement: |
| |
|
“Merissa Hamilton’s
disgraceful participation in
this private, hateful
anti-LGBTQ Facebook group is
disqualifying. She and other
anti-equality Arizona
candidates are parroting the
far-right conspiracy
theories concocted by QAnon,
a group the FBI has labelled
‘conspiracy theory-driven
domestic extremists’ and a
'domestic terror threat.' |
| |
|
“What’s worse, Hamilton’s
involvement in the private
group shows that she knows
what she believes is too
hateful and wrong to say
publicly, and yet she
continues to peddle these
homophobic and transphobic
ideas in secret. This
development makes it all the
more important that we
re-elect Mayor Kate Gallego
so she can continue to fight
for equality.”" |
