Arizona Democratic Governor Katie Hobbs appears to have missed the memo from Washington, DC, brass urging her to tone down her rhetoric toward Republicans following the attempted assassination of Republican candidate and former President Donald Trump in July.
In her Wednesday press release on the results of the Arizona primary, which took place Tuesday while votes were still being counted for some hotly contested races in the Copper State, Hobbs spewed dishonest and vitriolic language about those on the right in the legislature who have thwarted parts of her radical left agenda, and referred to the candidates on the general election ballot as “insurrectionists, white supremacists and accused phony electors”:

The full post on X reads:
For many candidates, yesterday marked the beginning of what is expected to be an extremely hard-fought election campaign.
Arizonans will have a choice between continuing to hand control of the legislature to insurrectionists, white supremacists, and accused fraudulent electors, or supporting Democratic candidates who care about reducing the cost of life for Arizonans, investing in public education, and restoring reproductive freedom.
I am confident that Arizonans will once again choose reason over chaos, and I look forward to electing and working with the governing majorities in the next legislative session.
Those of us unlucky enough to have Hobbs as governor know that in the brief (almost) two years of her first term, she vetoed a lot of legislation, with local progressive papers like the Phoenix New Times proud she “The Veto Queen”:
After a record-breaking 143 vetoes in 2023, Governor Katie Hobbs pulled out her veto stamp and rejected 73 bills in 2024, bringing her total for the past two years to 216….
If the left cares about anything, it’s blocking the will of the people it’s supposed to serve. New Times also points out that it has eclipsed a most embarrassing record set by former Democratic Gov. Janet Napolitano when it reported that she “vetoed 181 bills from 2003 to 2009.”
That’s 181 bills in seven years versus Hobbs’ 216 in just two years, folks. Also, keep in mind that Napolitano also had a Republican majority in the House; there hasn’t been a Democratic majority in the House since Ronald Reagan was in the Oval Office. Currently, the Democrats are hold 14 of 30 seats in the state Senate and 29 of 60 seats in the state House of Representatives.
In a controversial and factual post on X, Republican President pro tempore of the Arizona Senate and State Senator TJ Shope had the perfect response to the governor’s racist remarks:
Governor. @katiehobbsjust trying to figure out if our all-hispanic LD16 team of Shope, Martinez and Lopez are the “insurgents, white supremacists or fake electors”…🤔
What would be a positive, unifying campaign message for you? Good luck! https://t.co/cBomwdGCx0

A great question that we will never get an answer to from the left – because they know the answer would expose them for the complete hypocrites that they are. As I said in my post on Tuesday about Kari Lake’s victory in the US Senate primary, who will now face ultra-radical leftist Rep. Ruben Gallego for Sinema’s seat, conservatives need to move on and prepare for November!
