We can't let a Republican official use Christianity to 'lynch' someone

Using 'Christian disagreements' to talk about lynching someone betrays Jesus' teachings of love and compassion.

This is #ShelbyBusch, second-in-command for the #MaricopaCounty #Republican Committee. She was the county party's 2023 "volunteer of the year." She's an advisor to #KariLake and others.

She also runs an "election integrity" group called "We The People AZ" that receives funding from #MikeLindell, #PatrickByrne, and #MikeFlynn.

Kari Lake Handed Legal Blow by Judge

You've got to love the passage about the judge rejecting the claim by Kari Lake's lawyers that her comments were merely expressions of "imaginative expression or rhetorical hyperbole." In other words, Kari Lake is being accused of defaming Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer but she was really just engaging in whimsy.

With luck, Richer's lawyers will closely study the recent outcome of the similar Rudolph the Pinocchio-Nosed Lawyer case.

Has anyone noticed that conspiracy theories are tough to substantiate in court?

Republican Election Official Sues Kari Lake for Defamation - Political IQ

A top Republican election official in Arizona filed a defamation lawsuit Thursday against 2022 gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake (R). 

Political IQ

Continuing to willfully spread misinformation like sociopath #KariLake has done is nothing short of diabolical.

Proven she is lying by the courts, there is no way she can be trusted not to do this again while putting her opponent's safety at risk.
