Valley business leaders are now challenging Arizona Republican Party Chair Kelli Ward and other Republican elected officials.
The business leaders are accusing them of embarrassing the state, lying to its citizens and contributing to the insurrection at the nation s Capitol.
The Greater Phoenix Leadership Council placed a full-page ad in the Arizona Republic, saying, âThat elected members of Arizonaâs congressional delegation and the state legislature participated and stoked the flames of this travesty is embarrassing and wrong. They should be held accountable for their rhetoric and behavior.â
In a letter directed to Acting U.S. Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen and FBI Director Christopher Wray Tuesday, Arizona Democratic lawmakers called for a federal probe into the potential role of local Republican elected officials in fomenting last week s riot at the Capitol. This was an attack on our country. As the full extent of the insurrection unfolds, we fervently urge you to investigate the federal and state lawmakers directly involved, as well as those who, through words and conduct, aided and abetted sedition, treason or any other federal crimes, the letter states. The events of January 6 were not spontaneous, nor were they the random acts of a diffuse handful of unconnected individuals. For weeks prior to the breach, a group of Republican Arizona legislators and legislators-elect publicly advocated for the overthrow of the election results which encouraged precisely the kind of violent conduct that we witnessed.
Members of the Arizona Legislature are finally working to expose voter fraud within the state”
“The Arizona Senate will hold an official legislative hearing on election integrity complete with subpoena power on Friday morning, National File understands.
Arizona State Representative Mark Finchem made the announcement regarding the legislative hearing to be held in the Senate on Thursday morning.”
“This would mark a significant step in the election integrity process. A previous hearing, in which President Trump’s legal team participated, involved multiple witnesses and serious analysis of the election, but did not have the full powers that a legislative hearing could provide, most notably the power to subpoena, and the requirement for sworn testimony.
