Kelli Ward Urged Anti-Lockdown Protesters to Dress as Health-Care Workers

Dr. Kelli Ward, the far-right chairwoman of the Arizona Republican Party, further emboldened conservative protesters who are demanding that governors reopen states by telling them to dress as health-care workers to trick the media. “Planning protest to #ReOpenAmerica? EVERYONE wear scrubs & masks - the media doesn’t care if you are really in healthcare or not - it’s the “message” that matters!” she wrote on Twitter on Friday. Ward, who was previously a state senator, has repeatedly spread conspiracy theories and last week accused health-care workers attending rallies to resist protesters as “actors playing parts.”

Matt Grodsky, the spokesman for Arizona’s Democratic party, slammed Ward’s remarks on Monday, saying, “If anyone’s status as a healthcare professional should be questioned it’s Dr. Kelli Ward’s, considering her unwillingness to promote the advice of health experts.” He added: “Irresponsible, shameful tweets like this do nothing to help people afflicted with the virus or the health care heroes who are working to save lives.”

7. To suggest this action is so entirely evil that it merely shows their true character.
