is that the democratic party in arizona is able to make this ad with the former spokesperson with the oath keepers, the paramilitary group currently on trial in federal court in washington, d.c. on charges of seditious conspiracy. i was a propagandist for the oath keepers. they re the ones that stormed the capitol. they brought explosives, violence. it is absolutely a foundation. mark is a member of the oath keepers and led the effort to delegitimize the election in arizona. it would be insane to put mark finchum in charge of tallying the votes. that s a dangerous proposition. that s a new ad about the republican candidate for secretary of state. so this election is a simultaneous fight. at the same time it is a fight over whether or not we re going
